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.
Is there a financial regulation in place for the Premier League?
Yes, the Premier League has financial regulations, known as Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, intended to prevent clubs from spending beyond their means and to promote financial stability.

How is Premier League winning determined?
The Premier League champion is the one who has the most points in the 38 game season. Teams earn three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. If both teams end the season on the same number points, the champion will be determined based on the goal differential and if required, by the number of goals. If teams are still equal, a play-off at a neutral site may be used to determine the title. However, this scenario has not occurred in Premier League’s history.
