Premier League | England - an overview

The England Premier League is the flagship of men’s professional football in the UK. The Premier League is not only one of the toughest leagues in Europe, and it’s also one of the wealthiest. Domestic and international TV rights and sponsorship deals make the England Premier League a lucrative place to play. With an estimated £2.3 billion per year paid to the Premier League, promotion and relegation battles are fiercely contested. European success at club level has marked English football as a top destination for prominent players. There is no promotion from the Premier League, however, 20 clubs fight to qualify for the UEFA Champions’ League. The top four placed teams at the end of the season automatically qualify for the group stage. The club that finishes fifth at the end of the season qualifies with the winners of the domestic FA Cup in the UEFA Europa League group stage. Winners of the domestic Carabao Cup enter the second qualifying round of the European League. The bottom three teams at the end of the season are relegated to the Championship.
