Hvor mange kampe i en premier league-sæson?
38
Der er 20 klubber i Premier League. I løbet af en sæson (fra august til maj) spiller hver klub to gange mod de andre klubber (et dobbelt rundesystem), en gang på deres eget stadion og en gang på modstandernes stadion, i alt 38 kampe. Holdene får tre point for en sejr og et point for uafgjort. Der gives ingen point for et nederlag. Holdene rangordnes efter det samlede antal point, derefter målforskel og derefter målscoringer. Hvis holdene stadig er lige store, anses de for at indtage samme position. Hvis der er uafgjort om mesterskabet, om nedrykning eller om kvalifikation til andre konkurrencer, afgøres placeringen ved en playoff-kamp på et neutralt sted. De tre lavest placerede hold rykker ned i EFL Championship, og de to bedste hold fra Championship samt vinderen af slutspilskampe mellem de tredje- til sjetteplacerede Championship-klubber rykker op i stedet for dem.
38
There are 20 clubs in the Premier League. During the course of a season (from August to May) each club plays the others twice (a double round-robin system), once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents', for a total of 38 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank. The three lowest placed teams are relegated into the EFL Championship, and the top two teams from the Championship, together with the winner of play-offs involving the third to sixth placed Championship clubs, are promoted in their place.
