A Breakdown Of EURO 2024 Payouts
According to SportsMole, a whopping €331 million ($359.69 million) will be up for distribution in EURO 2024 — the same as EURO 2020.
The 24 nations that have qualified for the tournament will receive €9.25 million ($9.97 million) right off the bat as participation bonus. Hosts Germany are the biggest winners here, as they did not have to go through the rigorous qualifiers to book a place in the continental extravaganza.

The 16 teams that make it into the Round of 16 will earn €1.5 million ($1.62 million) each as qualification bonus. Eight teams that get out of this round will each receive €2.5 million ($2.69 million) whereas semi-finalists will take home a massive €4 million ($4.31).
Winning the whole tournament will make a national team €8 million ($8.62 million) richer. The runners-up, meanwhile, will earn €5 million ($5.39 million).
