About The Premier League
The Premier League is the organising body of the Premier League, which oversees the competition, its Rule Book, and centralised broadcast rights. Founded in 1992, it emerged from English First Division clubs seeking a more profitable and independently operated league. The Premier League is solely owned by its 20 member clubs, each of which holds a share. This unique structure enables greater financial sustainability and competitive balance within the league. The inaugural season kicked off on 15 August 1992 and has since evolved into one of the world's most popular and watched sports leagues, with extensive broadcasting deals expanding its reach to nearly 900 million homes across 189 countries.
The Premier League's headquarters are located in London, and it employs a diverse team of approximately 200 to 500 people, who specialize in various functions including commercial operations, youth development, and community engagement. The league is not only focused on football excellence; it also champions initiatives like mental health awareness campaigns, striving to make a significant positive impact in local communities. The Premier League remains committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, and fairness within all levels of its operations, ensuring that football is accessible and enjoyable for all.
