Premier League

The Premier League is the top English football competition. The league consists of twenty clubs that play a total of 38 matches between August and May. In addition to English clubs, Welsh clubs can also qualify for a place in the Premier League, but they must participate in the English football pyramid. There is a promotion and relegation scheme between the Premier League and the Football League.

Outside of England, the league is often referred to as the English Premier League (EPL).
