The English Premier League (EPL) is the top division in the English soccer league system. It was founded in 1992 and currently comprises 20 clubs competing in the 2023/24 season. The APL is considered one of the most popular and prestigious soccer leagues in the world. It has a huge fan base and attracts a large number of television broadcasts. In recent years, the composition of the so-called “big four” clubs has changed with the inclusion of teams such as Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. The popularity of the APL and the increase in television contracts has had a negative impact on the national championships of other soccer nations. The Premier League Championship trophy weighs 25 kilograms and is silver gilded. In the 2023/24 season, the APL includes 20 different clubs. Until 2010, APL clubs were able to contract players from any country with virtually no restrictions, but since the 2010/11 season, a limit on the number of players on the clubs’ roster was introduced.
