Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the Premier League champion?
The Premier League is won by the team who accumulates the most number of points throughout the 38 match season. Teams earn three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. If two teams have the same amount of points at the end of the season, the winner will be determined by their goal difference. If the teams still are level, then a game at a neutral ground may decide the title. But this scenario is not known to have happened in Premier League.
