The Barclays Premier League consists of 20 teams that each play each other home and away over the course of a season. Teams receive 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw, with the team at the top of the points table at the end of the season declared the winner. The bottom 3 teams are relegated to the lower league, while the top 3 teams from the lower league are promoted. Teams can qualify for European and domestic cup competitions during the season. Different continents use varying qualification formats to determine their representatives for the FIFA World Cup, ranging from group stages and playoffs to single leagues.
