The Premier League is the top tier of England’s football pyramid, with 20 teams battling it out for the honour of being crowned English champions.

Home to some of the most famous clubs, players, managers and stadiums in world football, the Premier League is the most-watched league on the planet with more than one billion homes watching the action in 188 countries.

The league takes place between August and May and involves the teams playing each other home and away across the season, a total of 380 matches.

A total of 49 clubs have played in the Premier League, with Brighton & Hove Albion and Huddersfield Town being the latest to make their debuts, in 2017/18.

Six clubs are ‘ever-present’, having been in the Premier League since it formed: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Since the League began in 1992, there have been seven different winners: Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City and Liverpool. Man Utd have had the most success with 13 titles in the 28 seasons so far.

Man City have the Premier League record for the biggest winning margin, when they finished 19 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United in 2017/18.

The narrowest winning margin of +8 goal difference came in 2011/12 when Sergio Aguero’s goal, deep into stoppage-time on the final day of the season, gave Man City the title in the most dramatic of Premier League finishes.

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal are the only side to have gone the entire Premier League campaign unbeaten. That record season was achieved in 2003/04 when they won the title by 11 points from Chelsea. For more Premier League facts and figures, click here.

There have been four different Premier League champions in the last five years, with Leicester City capping off an incredible sporting story by winning the title in 2015/16.

The unlikely title triumph came a season after the Foxes avoided relegation by only six points.

Liverpool won it’s first title having equalled a Premier League record by winning 32 of their matches, finishing 18 points ahead of Man City in 2019/20.

The teams that finish in the bottom three of the league table at the end of the campaign are relegated to the Championship, the second tier of English football.

Those teams are replaced by three clubs promoted from the Championship; the sides that finish in first and second place and the third via the end-of-season playoffs.
