Are you a fan who wants to know who’s winning, who’s losing and where the next big game is? The Premier League is England’s top football competition, and it delivers drama every weekend. From surprise wins to last‑minute goals, there’s always something to talk about. Below you’ll find the basics you need to follow the league without getting lost.
The season runs from August to May, with 20 clubs playing each other twice – once at home, once away. That means 38 games per team and 380 games in total. Points are simple: three for a win, one for a draw, none for a loss. At the end of the season the team with the most points wins the title, the top four head to the Champions League, and the bottom three drop down to the Championship.
Because the schedule is tight, matches often happen on Saturdays, Sundays and occasionally on weekdays. If you miss a live broadcast, most clubs stream highlights on YouTube or their own apps, so you can catch up in a few minutes.
In the UK, Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime share the live rights. If you don’t have a subscription, you can still get live scores on BBC Sport, the Premier League app, or any major sports website. Social media is also a goldmine – clubs post live updates on Twitter, while Instagram Stories give you quick clips of goals and celebrations.

Some matches are on Sky Sports Premier League, others on Sky Sports Mix, and a few might be on Amazon Prime. Streaming platforms often let you watch on a phone or tablet, so you can follow the action from the pub, the couch, or even the gym.
Fans also love the player stats – goals, assists, clean sheets and minutes played. Websites like WhoScored or the official Premier League site break down the numbers, helping you spot who’s in form and who’s struggling.
In short, the Premier League is a packed calendar of football that offers non‑stop entertainment. Keep an eye on the fixtures, use a reliable live‑score app, and join the conversation on social media. That way you’ll never miss a goal, a red card, or a surprise upset.

Rickie Lambert left Liverpool for West Brom in 2015 on a £3 million deal that looked sensible on paper. The England striker struggled for minutes, earned a hefty weekly wage and never sparked the goals fans hoped for. After a brief, quiet stint at the Hawthorns he drifted to Cardiff, scored few times and hung up his boots in 2017. The saga shows how even logical deals can go wrong.
