The Premier League is the top professional association football league in England and the highest level of the English football league system. Twenty clubs contest it each season, with promotion and relegation linking it to the English Football League, and every team plays 38 matches, two against each other team, one at home and one away. Seasons usually run from August to May, with most games played on weekend afternoons. The competition was founded as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992, when clubs of the old First Division broke away from the English Football League, and it is governed by a corporation owned by its member clubs.
