How much prize money have Walsall won in the FA Cup and EFL Trophy this season?
Walsall are still fighting it out in two cup competitions at the start of 2026.
After beating Eastleigh and Gateshead earlier in the competition, Walsall have set-up a lucrative tie against Championship side Norwich City at Carrow Road in the FA Cup third round.
The Saddlers have reached the third round in three of the last four seasons - with the only exception being last season after they lost 4-0 to Charlton Athletic at Bescot in the round prior.
Mat Sadler has also guided Walsall into the round of 16 of the EFL Trophy for the second season in a row, where they will face League One side Northampton Town at Sixfields Stadium.
They had less success in the League Cup after bowing out at the first hurdle following a penalty shoot-out defeat at Stoke City back in August.
How much money have Walsall made from the FA Cup?
Walsall have pocketed £127,250 in total from their FA Cup exploits so far this season.
They made £47,750 from their 3-0 win at Eastleigh in the first round and a further £79,500 when they beat Gateshead 2-0 in the following round.
If Walsall manage to pull off an upset at Norwich and progress to the next round, then they will bank £121,500.
Even if they lose, the Saddlers will still take home another £26,500.
How much prize money have they made in the EFL Trophy?
Walsall made nothing from the League Cup but they have been much more success in the EFL Trophy.
£20,000 entered their coffers just for participating in the competition and they collected £15,000 across the group phase.
A 3-1 win at Shrewsbury Town in the opening group game pocketed them £10,000 and their goalless draw against Chelsea, which was followed by a shoot-out success, earned them another £5,000.
The comeback win at Stevenage in the previous round banked £20,000 and they will take home £40,000 if they beat Northampton in the round of 16 next week.
They faced Northampton in the group stage this season - losing 1-0 at Bescot in October.
So far, Walsall have amassed a grand total of £55,000 from the EFL Trophy and £176,500 from cup competitions overall this season.
