Champions Manchester United topped the table for English Premier League television income in 2012-13, raking in almost £61 million in the final year of the current three-year contract, the League said on Tuesday.
Relegated Queens Park Rangers, owned by Malaysian airline boss Tony Fernandes, received almost £40 million, the lowest figure among the 20 clubs.
The Premier League has also secured enhanced overseas rights deals and revenue from television is expected to rise to around £5.5 billion over the next three years, from around £3 billion.
The differences in payments between clubs reflect where they finished in the league and also how many times their matches were screened live in Britain.
