New season begins August 16th…
The Premier League, also known as The Premiership or internationally the EPL, is an English professional league for football clubs. This is the country’s primary football competition and is currently contested by 20 clubs. The format is on a promotion and relegation format. Three clubs, who finish at the bottom, are sent down to the Championship League. Three teams who earn their promotion from the Championship League are brought into the Premier League for the upcoming season. No one team is guaranteed a place in the Premier League. Each team must perform well enough and therefore the pressure is constant. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 38 games each. The league is currently sponsored by Barclays Bank, and known as the Barclays Premier League. The league was formed in 1992 and since then it has dominated globally. It is the world’s most watched sporting league and the most lucrative league with combined club revenue nearing £1.8 billion. Current title holders are Manchester United. They have won the league 10 times, the most out of any club.
