The Premier League is the top professional football league in England. It was formed in 1992 when clubs renounced the Football League to form their own competition. In its early decades, the "Big Four" clubs of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United dominated the top positions. The league has since expanded to 20 clubs and includes Welsh team Swansea City. Each team plays 38 games over the course of a season in a double round-robin format.

stadiums were in poor condition, the hooligans provoked riots in games
and began to increase more and more in number, and the English clubs
could not play in European competition following the Heysel tragedy in
1985, where 39 fans died.
• In 1992 the First Division teams renounced the Football League en masse
and May 27, 1992 the Premier League was formed so limited company not
dependent on the Football Association based in an office in the facilities
that then the Football Association in Lancaster Gate. This meant the end
of 104-year-old Football League that had operated until then with four
divisions; the Premier League would operate as a single division, the first,
and the Football League with the other three.
