Sports financial analysts revealed that promotion will mean an increase in revenue of approximately £135million over the next three seasons.
However, that could rise £265m over five years if the club avoids relegation in their first season.
A majority of that money is accumulated through TV commercial payments as each club receives an equal payment of £31m just for being in the league.
Furthermore, the successful team will likely get around £60m from international agreements as well as £1.2m for every game shown live on TV.
