FA Premier League

The FA Premier league is the top football league division for English Football League teams. It is governed by The Football Association.

It was created in 1992 when the teams of the old First Division withdrew from The Football League. Both the league, and its championship, are often called the Premiership.

Teams

There are 20 teams in the FA Premier League. At the start of each season, the bottom three teams of last season are relegated into Division 1 and the top two teams from Division 1, together with the winner of a series of play-offs between the 3rd-6th teams of Division 1, are promoted into the FA Premier League. These are the teams for the 2003/04 season:
