How much will the winners (and losers) of Super Bowl LVIII get paid?

The latest Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NFL Players Association and the NFL dictates that each member of the winning team will receive $164,000, a $7,000 bump over last year’s total. Winners of the 2025 Super Bowl will receive $171,000.

How much will the losers of the Super Bowl LVIII get paid?

Losing stinks—and the what-ifs and could-have-been in the postseason can be agonizing. But the $89,000 losing players receive might make that a little easier to deal with. Next year’s losing team will see payments of $96,000 per player.

Does every player get paid the same amount?

No. It all comes down to their length of time in the league and their roster status. Some players could only receive half of the amounts above. Here’s how it breaks down.

Players get a full bonus if…

  • They’ve played at least three previous games during the regular season or playoffs and are on the team’s active or inactive list when the Super Bowl is played

  • They’ve played at least eight previous games (regular or post-season), regardless of whether they’re on the active/inactive list or not.

  • They’re a veteran player who was injured during the regular season, but are still under contract.

Players get 50% of the bonus if…

  • They’ve played fewer than three previous games during the regular season or playoffs and are on the team’s active or inactive list when the Super Bowl is played

  • They’re not on the active/inactive list, but played between three and seven games during the regular season or playoffs.

  • They’re a first-year player who was injured during the regular season, but are still under contract.
