2023 Super Bowl winning prize money
The winning team at the 2023 Super Bowl will receive $118,000 per player, in addition to $29,000 from the divisional playoffs and around $54,000 for the conference championship. The winning team's players will at least take home a whopping sum of $201,000 each.
The losing team shouldn't be sad either, as they won't be returning empty-handed. The players on the losing team will earn $59,000 along with postseason income worth around $83,000. They will be making around $142,000 each.
It is pertinent to note that the postseason amount, including the divisional payoffs and conference championships, is equally distributed among both teams, irrespective of the individual's overall performance.
However, Arizona is going to earn a hefty amount from the tournament. Given the previous record of the Super Bowl, which included Los Angeles earning around $477 million in 2022, this will have a positive impact on the economy of Arizona, with reports claiming the figure could reach an astounding $1 billion this year. The amount of revenue generated from the golf tournament is also immense.
