Today's promotion playoff between Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City will be worth £163m.
The Daily Mail says the huge stakes being played for at Wembley by Sheffield Wednesday and Hull to gain entry to the world's richest league have been variously priced at anything between £100million to £200m.
But the Football League now have an official figure of a minimum £163m that this year's Championship play-off final is worth to the winners.
This has been worked out by adding the amount for finishing bottom of the Premier League next season to two seasons' worth of parachute payments.
