England
Premier League
England's top division, and the most watched football league in the world. Its clubs are unusually wealthy, which is why so many of the game's best players end up here.
How it works
- Clubs
- 20
- Matches each
- 38, playing every other club home and away
- Winner decided by
- Most points after 38 matches. No playoffs.
The bottom three clubs are relegated to the division below, and three come up to replace them. There is no draft and no salary cap: finishing last costs you your place in the league, not just the season.
The top five or so qualify for the Champions League, which is worth more money and prestige to most clubs than any domestic cup. The next few qualify for the Europa League and Conference League.
Table
Three points for a win, one for a draw. Goal difference separates clubs level on points.
