DCMS has not made an assessment of the number of staff employed by Premiership or Championship football clubs that are paid less than the living wage.

The National Living Wage is the statutory minimum wage for those aged 25 and over, and the Government is committed to ensuring that everyone entitled to the National Living Wage receives it.

It is up to individual businesses to decide whether they would like to pay employees under the age of 25 the National Living Wage.
