The English Premier League is the top tier of English football, contested by 20 clubs across 38 matchdays from August to May. Founded in 1992, it grew out of the old First Division and is now watched in almost every country in the world. Clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City have made the league famous for its pace, physicality and unpredictable results.
What makes the EPL special is that any team can beat any other on the day. Promotion and relegation keep the stakes high all season: three clubs go down to the Championship, three come up. Add packed stadiums like Anfield, Old Trafford and the Etihad, and you get the most intense league football on the planet.
