In total, throughout 2024, $78.4 million was distributed among the teams. A significant portion, namely $44.3 million, came from players who purchased team-themed capsules and the Champions 2024 set in the store. The other part of the funds was prize money distributed in regional tournaments, Masters, and Champions.
