Which teams are in Premier League 2024/25?
As is tradition, there are 20 teams in total in the Premier League for the 2024/25 season.
Each team plays two matches — one at home, and one away — against the other 19. The team with the most points after playing 38 games will be champions (in the case of a tie on points, goal difference is used to decide the winner).
The top four teams in the league are guaranteed a place in the following season's UEFA Champions League. There are also spots in the Europa League and Conference League potentially available to those who win domestic cups or finish in the top seven.
The bottom three teams in the standings at the end of the season will be relegated to the EFL Championship.

Who got promoted to the Premier League for 2024/25?
The three teams promoted to the Premier League for 2024/25 were Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton.
Leicester finished top of the Championship after a strong season under Enzo Maresca, which saw the manager become Chelsea's choice to replace Mauricio Pochettino. Ipswich came second after a second impressive campaign under Kieran McKenna, the former Manchester United assistant coach. Both those teams were automatically promoted.
Southampton earned the third promotion place after winning the Championship playoff final against Leeds United.
Who was relegated from the Premier League in 2024?
Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton replaced the three relegated teams from 2023/24. Those teams were Sheffield United, Burnley, and Luton Town.
All three sides earned promotion the year before but none was able to thrive in England's top division. Sheffield United finished bottom of the table after conceding a record 104 goals across 38 games. Burnley, who were 19th in the standings, saw manager Vincent Kompany leave for the Bayern Munich job barely two weeks after the season ended. Luton put up more of a fight, but they finished in 18th place, six points from safety.
