Premier League referees can earn a higher salary than their peers in Europe’s top five leagues, according to a new report.

Referees who are involved in the Premier League are part of the Select Group of officials, which is the top level, and they are therefore paid appropriately.

They receive a regular wage, which is topped up by match fees for every game they are assigned to.

According to a report by The Athletic, Premier League officials are paid on a sliding scale weighted on their level of experience and rank, with salaries between £73,191, £105,257 and £147,258.

Match fees for the official work out at £1,116 per match, with Video Assistant Referees receiving £837.
