The English Premier League (EPL) is the pinnacle of English football and one of the most-watched sports
leagues worldwide. Established in 1992 after replacing the First Division, the Premier League has a rich history dating back to 1888.
Unlike many other leagues that use playoffs to determine a champion, the
Premier League follows a straightforward points system: three points for a win, one for a draw. The team with the most points at the end of the season is crowned Premier League Champion.
