It operates as a league competition for 20 clubs, which compete annually to secure the title of champions. The league functions on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League (EFL) Championship, meaning that the bottom-performing teams in the Premier League are relegated to the Championship, while the top teams from the Championship are promoted to the Premier League. The Premier League is known for its high level of competition, international viewership, and significant financial influence within the sport, making it one of the most popular and lucrative football leagues globally.
