The English Premier League (EPL) is the top tier of professional football in England, featuring 20 teams that compete annually. Established in 1992, it has become one of the most popular and widely watched football leagues in the world, attracting top talent and significant global audiences. Each season, teams play 38 matches, facing each other twice, once at home and once away. The league operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the EFL Championship, meaning the lowest-performing teams are relegated to the lower division, while the best teams from the Championship are promoted to the Premier League.
