Season structure
The Premier League season runs August to May. Each of the 20 clubs plays 38 league games — home and away against every other team. The top four teams qualify for the UEFA Champions League; the bottom three are relegated to the Championship.
The English football calendar is unusually dense: alongside the league, top clubs play in the FA Cup, EFL Cup (Carabao Cup), and European competitions, often producing fixtures every 3–4 days during peak season.
