Like if the team wins a league, do the owners get paid any amount from the league itself? Or do owners make money from sponsorships, business deals etc

Some teams take in more money (TV deals, tickets, merch & concessions, sponsorships etc) than they pay out (player salaries, staff, travel, facilities, etc). The owners can take that difference as profit. But even if they don’t, many (most?) sports teams increase in value over time. Often by a lot. When the owner then sells the club for much more than they originally paid for it, they make a massive profit – this is why you shouldn’t feel bad for owners whose teams “only break even”.
