The biggest game in soccer this weekend may have been the final of the European Championship, but it has a potential value of hundreds of millions of dollars.
The English Football League had two teams finish in third and fourth place. The first and second place teams will be in the top flight next season. On Sunday, at Wembley Stadium in London, two teams will play each other to determine which one of them gets the third spot.
This is more than just for bragging rights and competitive opportunities. The rewards for a team moving from the English Football League to the premier league are immense.
According to the professional services company, parachute payments and broadcast rights payments are designed to aid the team in the event of being demoted. If they are able to avoid immediate promotion, that number could go up to 300 million. The two teams will be going all-out on Sunday, so this could be a big deal.
The two teams will play each other on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. The show is on ESPN+.
