When does Barclays Premier League return?

The Premier League is the highest level of the English football league system. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the EFL. Seasons typically run from August to May, with each team playing 38 matches against all other teams, both home and away. The competition was founded as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992 following the decision of First Division (top-tier league from 1888 until 1992) clubs to break away from the Football League.
