A pretty interesting statistics on the Bundesliga TV money distribution. FC Bayern is of course getting the biggest share while Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig ranking on place two and three. That was pretty expected, if you ask me.
I think it is fair enough because the Bundesliga TV money distribution is based on current season results, last season rankings and not only based on club reputation. If the distribution for Television rights is only based on club reputation, clubs like Frankfurt, Leipzig, Union Berlin would have not received big shares like the image shows.
However, it is also interesting to note that Union Berlin was able to significantly increase its TV revenues. In the 2020/2021 season, the revenue was still around ~€34m. This season they are already over ~€50m. This fits in with the extremely strong season that Union is playing. Good job.
Union Berlin is a good motivational club for other small clubs. If they can improve their club performance and get higher rankings on Bundesliga table, in a next season they will get more income for their club financial budget to use.
But having increasing and bigger budget for one season is not a secured finance source for them. They must use their budget carefully and plan for some future seasons too from transfer, salary, youth academy and club infrastructure maintenance costs.
