Premier League

The Premier League is the top tier of professional football (soccer) in England. Established in 1992, it is a league competition contested by 20 clubs, which operate on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League (EFL). The season typically runs from August to May, with each team playing 38 matches, facing each of the other 19 teams twice, once at their home stadium and once away.

The Premier League is widely regarded as one of the most competitive and popular football leagues in the world, featuring a diverse array of clubs and international players. The league operates under a strict financial structure, with broadcasting rights generating substantial revenue that contributes to club finances. The team that finishes the season with the most points is crowned the champion. Points are awarded based on match outcomes: three points for a win, one point for a draw, and none for a loss.

Additionally, the Premier League has significant global viewership, attracting large audiences and influencing football culture and economics beyond England.
