The Premier League is the world’s most famous and most watched domestic football league, with an audience in the billions.

Due to the fact the Premier League is in such high demand worldwide, there is plenty of scope for football betting with great odds on offer. Here is our handy guide to Premier League betting.
History of the Premier League
The Premier League was formed in 1992 as the English top tier moved away from the old ‘First Division’ label. The 1992-93 season was the first of the Premier League era, and Manchester United were the first champions crowned. Under the guidance of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, the Red Devils won all 13 titles during an era of dominance that lasted until 2013.
Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers and Leicester City are the only other teams to have lifted the famous trophy. City have won five of the last six titles and eight in total, while Chelsea have finished top of the pile on five occasions.
The Premier League is renowned for attracting the best footballers on the planet, and its commercial appeal far outweighs that of any other major European division. An influx of foreign players has also raised the quality level, and teams in the league are known for bringing through some of the best young talent in the world, particularly those from England.

During the 2025/26 Championship, Coventry City and second place Ipswich Town secured direct promotion to the EPL, while Hull City earned their spot through the playoffs. West Ham, Burnley and Wolves were relegated to the second tier after a poor EPL campaign.
