How much do Premier League referees get paid?

The second tier – ‘Select Group 2’ referees – officiate Championship matches and will sometimes act as fourth officials at Premier League games.

Championship referees receive a baseline salary, then additional match fees on top. No figures are publicly available for this group of referees, but both the salary and match fees are lower than that of Premier League officials.

From the 2021-2022 season, PGMOL announced it would oversee the match officials in the Women’s Super League (WSL) and Women’s Championship., external

Those referees belong to the Women’s Professional Game Select Group, headed up by Rebecca Welch – the first woman to referee a fixture in the Premier League.

This group of referees is made up of both men and women, and some officiate in other competitions beyond their roles in the WSL and Women’s Championship.

PGMOL is funded by the Premier League, English Football League and Football Association. Referees’ salaries are directly determined by the funds PGMOL receives.
