Uefa has said 611 clubs will benefit from the current cycle of payments.

This will likely rise to more than 900 when including the full Euro 2028 tournament, as was the case in the 2024 competition.

The flat rate for each player named in a squad list per Nations League or Euro 2028 qualifying match is £3,285. This is a 5% increase on what clubs were paid in the 2020-24 payment cycle for the equivalent games.

According to Uefa, RB Leipzig are the club set to benefit most from the 2024-25 Nations League compensation, earning £302,000 after releasing 16 players for the tournament.

While it is not possible to calculate which Premier League clubs will benefit most financially from the current international break until after all Nations League and Euro 2028 qualifiers have concluded, a rough idea can be gathered from looking at how many players each club have released for the 2026-27 Nations League (not including those out on loan):

• Liverpool - 17 players

• Arsenal - 13

• Leeds United - 11

• Aston Villa - nine

• Tottenham Hotspur - eight

• Brentford - eight

• Bournemouth - seven

• Brighton - seven

• Chelsea - seven

• Everton - seven

• Fulham - seven

• Hull City - seven

• Sunderland - seven

• Manchester City - six

• Crystal Palace - five

• Manchester United - five

• Newcastle United - five

• Nottingham Forest - four

• Ipswich Town - three

• Coventry City - one

However, there is no guarantee every player called up will be named on a team sheet, which must happen in order for a payment to be made.

Most Premier League clubs have additional players who have been called for international duty in tournaments outside the Nations League, which will operate a different compensation system from Uefa (if any), as well as those attending under-21s matches.

And while there are obvious financial benefits to having multiple players released for international duty, many clubs sending fewer squad members will benefit from increased rest and training time for players remaining at home.
