Teams finishing in the top 10 will also receive monetary rewards. Accra Lions, finishing second, will receive GH¢200,000.]
Third-placed Berekum Chelsea will get GH¢100,000, while fourth-placed Aduana will receive GH¢80,000.

However, former champions Hearts of Oak, who narrowly escaped relegation and finished in 14th place, will receive no prize money.
Samartex, celebrating their historic achievement, plans to use the prize money to prepare for the next season and their participation in the CAF Champions League.
Despite the substantial prize money, the club will seek additional investment, particularly from corporate sponsors, to meet the demands of continental competition.
