It will be interesting to see - avg wages for a player across the league were reported to be 47k (pounds)/season - I think this was in 2023 - for 22 matches, that would make a per match average of 2,136/match - the same season wage across 26 matches would be 1,807/match, a per match decrease of 15%. I am sure that the players' association will make sure to look at this, along with increased investment in the teams, to be sure that additional revenues find their way to the players, not just owners.
(disclosure: For the 47k figure, I am not sure how much of that comes directly from the clubs vs endorsements, etc, so the per game amounts could well be off.)
