Premier League: Where English football achieves its highest passion, skill and global stature

Renowned worldwide for its intensity and star power, the Premier League - officially the English Premier League (EPL) - stands as the pinnacle of English football and a beacon of the sport's global appeal.
Since its inception in 1992, the Premier League has become a global phenomenon, captivating millions of fans across the continent with its high-octane matches, world-class players and dramatic storylines.

Origins and evolution

The Premier League was formed in 1992 after 22 clubs split from the Football League First Division, seeking greater commercial opportunities and independence. The move revolutionised English football, bringing lucrative television deals that transformed clubs into financial powerhouses and attracted elite talent from around the world.
Over the years, the league has been reduced to 20 teams, with each club playing 38 matches per season - home and away against each other. The bottom three teams are relegated to the Championship, where the top teams qualify for prestigious European competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and Europa League.

Competitive spirit and iconic moments

Unpredictability is the heartbeat of the Premier League, where any team can win and every match exceeds expectations.
Unlike some European leagues where a few clubs consistently dominate, the EPL has seen multiple champions and fierce competition across the table. Clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool have enjoyed periods of dominance, but underdog stories - such as Leicester City's miraculous title win in 2015-16 - further enhance the league's appeal.

Global reach and influence

With matches broadcast in over 200 countries, the Premier League commands a huge global audience that reflects its universal appeal and cultural influence.
The clubs have built loyal fan bases outside of England and the league has become a cultural export that shapes football fans worldwide. Sponsorship, merchandising and digital content have further enhanced its global presence.
