Watford will land at least £280,000 from this season's FA Cup if they upset the odds and beat Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round.
The Hornets face Spurs at Vicarage Road on Friday, January 27 and they will receive almost £200,000 regardless of the result due to the game being shown on ESPN.
The 4-2 victory over Bradford has seen £67,500 land in the Watford accounts already and a further £123,500 will be paid courtesy of the FA's live broadcast fee.
If Watford beat Tottenham, then they will receive a further £90,000 for making the fifth round - which makes the projected earnings from the FA Cup £281,000.
