How it's played
Two teams of 11 use any part of the body except hands and arms to move the ball and score in the opponent's goal across two 45-minute halves. The team with more goals wins; a draw earns each side a point. Over 38 rounds, three points for a win and one for a draw settle the champion at the top of the table.
A brief history of the English championship
Aston Villa director William McGregor founds the Football League with 12 clubs. Preston North End wins the first two titles unbeaten — 'The Invincibles' — and the idea is copied by leagues across the world.
The First Division becomes English football's crown, with Aston Villa, Sunderland and Newcastle dominant early, Huddersfield Town the first to win three in a row (1924–26), and Liverpool collecting title after title in the 70s and 80s.
The First Division clubs resign from the Football League to form the FA Premier League, backed by a landmark Sky television deal. Manchester United wins the inaugural 1992-93 title.
Jack Walker-funded Blackburn Rovers pip Manchester United by one point — the first title bought on new money, and a sign of the era to come.
Manchester United seals the league, FA Cup and Champions League in ten dramatic days, with the Premier League trophy the first leg of the treble.
Arsenal wins the 2003-04 title without losing a single league match — the only unbeaten 38-game Premier League season ever completed.
Sergio Agüero's 94th-minute winner hands Manchester City their first title on goal difference in 2012; four years later 5,000-1 outsiders Leicester City complete the greatest upset in English football.
Manchester City's Pep Guardiola sets a record 100 points (2017-18), wins four consecutive titles (2020-21 to 2023-24) and a treble in 2023, while Liverpool ends its 30-year wait in 2020 and matches United's 20 titles in 2025.
