Premier League clubs are pushing for a larger share of the lucrative data rights deal.

Premier League clubs are ramping up efforts to claim a bigger slice of the £35 million-per-year data rights revenue, LondonWorld understands.

The current arrangement sees revenue from Football DataCo (FDC) - the organisation overseeing data rights for the Premier League, EFL, and Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) - distributed equally between the Premier League and EFL, with the SPFL receiving a smaller share.

However, top-flight clubs argue their matches are the primary driver of the rights’ value, especially as interest in live data and football betting continues to grow.

A larger share of data rights revenue could significantly benefit clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham by providing an additional stream of income.

However, such a move could increase the financial gap with EFL clubs, sparking further conflict between the top and bottom clubs.

Meanwhile, Premier League clubs are set to meet in London on Friday where they will vote in a ballot over APT rules (associated-party transactions rules).

Manchester City are looking to block the vote, while Aston Villa also sent a letter to the Premier League and the other 19 top-flight clubs, calling for the vote to be delayed - a request which was rejected by the Premier League.
