Frequently Asked Questions
What is Premier League football?
Premier League is a top-tier English football league. It’s also one of most popular and highly competitive domestic leagues. It is played by twenty teams and follows a system of promotion/relegation in conjunction with the English Football League. The teams play 38 matches each year (home and abroad), with the season running typically from August until May. The Premier League is renowned for its international star players and high-quality soccer.
How does the Premier League determine its winner?
The Premier League champion is the one who has the most points in the 38 game season. For a win or a draw, teams earn three points. Losses are not worth any points. If teams finish the season with equal points, then the winner is determined by the goal difference and, if needed, the number scored. If there is still a tie, the winner may be decided by a playoff, which can take place at a neutral location. This scenario, however, has never happened in Premier League history.
Can you explain what the Premier League’s ‘Big Six’ are?
The Big Six refers collectively to the Premier League’s most successful clubs and influential teams in recent history. The list typically includes Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur. These teams are renowned for their consistently high performances, large fan bases, financial prowess and frequent qualification for European competitions including the UEFA Champions League & UEFA Europa League.
How has the Premier League affected the English team?
The Premier League is a major player in developing English football talent. Many players from the league are selected for the English national team, contributing to international competitions with their skills and experience. The competitive nature of leagues and their quality players is thought to benefit the English national team. There has been some debate about the high number of foreigners in the league and the impact it may have on English players’ chances to play regular first-team soccer.
What happens when a Premier League team is relegated to the bottom?
The bottom three teams in each Premier League are relegated, and this is done at the end of every season. The Championship, or second tier, of English football, takes their place. In their place, two of the top teams from the Championship and the winner of Championship playoffs will be promoted to the Premier League.
