NFL Super Bowl LVII 2023 winner and runner up prize money
According to the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, each member of the winning team received $150,000 last season. In contrast to 2020, when the Super Bowl champions received $130,000 each, this cash award was up $20,000.
Last year, the losing team received $75,000 for each player, which is only half of what the champions were paid. In 2020, the Super Bowl losers received $65,000 each, an increase of $10,000 in cash bonuses.
Does every player on each team get paid the full amount?
Nope! Depending on their eligibility, some players from both the winning and losing teams may have their Super Bowl payouts reduced by half.
Players who will get the full bonus:
- Those who have participated in at least three previous games and are on the roster of the team when the Super Bowl is played can be active or inactive (regular season or playoffs).
- Players who have participated in at least eight games but are not active or inactive for the team at the time of the Super Bowl (regular season or playoffs).
- Veterans who were injured during the regular season and taken off the team’s active or inactive list, as long as they are still covered by their contract at the time the Super Bowl is played.
Players who will get half of the bonus:
- Players who have participated in fewer than three previous games and are on the team’s active or inactive list when the Super Bowl is played (regular season or playoffs).
- Players who have participated in at least three and no more than seven games prior to the Super Bowl but are not on the team’s active or inactive list at that time (regular season or playoffs).
- Players in their first year who sustained an injury during the regular season and were taken off the team’s active or inactive list, assuming they are still under contract at the time the Super Bowl is played.
