Everton, Burnley, Premier League
10 June 2026
Everton have been ordered to pay Burnley £35.1 million after an independent commission ruled their Premier League spending breach gave them a sporting advantage in the 2021-22 relegation fight. Everton plan to challenge the decision.
Burnley argued Everton’s breach cost them a chance of Premier League survival and caused financial damage after relegation. The ruling could become a major precedent for clubs seeking compensation linked to profitability and sustainability rule breaches.
