Cape Town - The Premier Soccer League has confirmed a total of R39.9 million in prize money for the upcoming 2019/20 Absa Premiership season.
That represents an increase of 35% from the previous campaign and will see the league champions pocket R15 million (up from R10 million in 2018/19).
The side finishing bottom - and thus relegated - will take home R440 000.
All prize money excludes VAT.
Meanwhile, the PSL also revealed the opening day fixtures for the upcoming season.
