The Premier League was formed in 1992, prior to then it was the English First Division.
From it's inception until the end of the 2001 season it was sponsored by Carling,
and was then sponsored by Barclays until the end of the 2015/16 season.
The Premier league has moved away from title sponsorship and
the competition is now known as the Premier League.
The league consists of 20 teams
who play each other twice a season,
once at home and once away.
Normal kick-off times are as follows:
| Saturday | 3pm |
| Sunday | 2pm & 4pm |
| Weekdays | 8pm |
3 points are awarded for a win, and 1 point for a draw.
The League Table is sorted by Points scored, then Goal difference, and then Goals scored.
The Champions and the three Runners-up
qualify for the following season's European Champions League.
The bottom 3 teams are relegated to the Championship.
They are replaced by three teams from that division:
- The Champions
- The Runners-up, and
- The play-off winners.
