Premier League explanation

Before heading into the Premier League this season’s final, let’s start with the most basic grasp of this football tournament. 

What is the Premier League?

Premier League is a short name to call English Premier League, or The Football Association Premier League Limited (abbreviated as EPL). The very first season started in 1990-1991 under the name the FA Carling Premiership.

Despite the humble number of participants and qualifying rounds as in the most prestigious game Champions League, Premier League is proudly the most-watched sports league in the world. 

How are teams selected for the Premier League?

As the name implies, the Premier League is a competition for English football teams. However, in some special seasons, we will see there are appearances of some clubs outside England. A process called Promotion and relegation will be applied in every season to decide which teams will stay and which will be out.

This system exists between the Premier League and the English Football League Championship. So the top 17 teams from the previous reason and three teams promoted from the Championship will join the current Premier League. Speaking on the other way, the three lowest-ranked teams in the Premier League are passed on (relegated) to the EFL Championship, while the best three clubs in the Championship will be promoted to the Premier League.
