The league operates on a round-robin format, where each team plays 38 matches over the course of a season, facing each opponent twice, once at home and once away. Teams earn three points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. The team with the most points at the end of the season is crowned the league champion. The bottom three teams are relegated to the EFL Championship, while the top teams from the Championship are promoted to the Premier League. The Premier League is known for its high level of competition, significant television rights revenue, and international popularity, making it one of the most watched and commercially successful football leagues in the world.
