With a total volume of 4.64 billion euros, we have assumed an amount of 1.16 billion euros for the 2019/2020 season.
Since the 2017/18 season, television funds have been distributed according to the so-called 4-pillar principle (source: DFL).
First of all, here is the overview of the national television funds in the 1st Bundesliga season 2019/20:
Distribution according to the "4-pillar principle"
Pillar 1: “Stock”: 70%
Pillar 1 is distributed according to the key that has been known for years.
Means: There is a five-year ranking for both the clubs of the 1. Bundesliga and the 2. Bundesliga. The last five seasons are evaluated.
The last season played is then more important than the season five years ago. The ratio is 5:4:3:2:1.
As before, in the Bundesliga the first player in this ranking receives 5.8 percent of the proceeds, the last 2.9 percent.
In the 2. Bundesliga, the first receives 1.69 percent and the last 0.75 percent.

Pillar 2: “Sustainability”: 5%
A 20-year rating is planned with a view to the sporting performance.
Unlike in Pillar 1, however, all seasons are weighted equally here. In addition, 1.Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga are not considered separately.

Pillar 3: “Young Talent”: 2%
The distribution is proportional to the minutes of use of U23 players trained in the association in Germany for the current season.
All matches including the 23rd year of life (excluding relegation and extra time) are taken into account.
Foreign players must be registered with a DFB club before reaching the age of 18.

Pillar 4: “Competition”: 23%
As in Pillar 1, the evaluation in the different table regions is based on a weighted five-year rating (5:4:3:2:1, starting with the last elapsed playing time).
In contrast to Pillar 1, the evaluation is based on a 36er ranking list.
In comparison to Pillar 1, other percentages per table position are also used. The first six clubs in this column will receive the same amount.
