Get tickets for the best Premier League games.
The Premier League, birthplace of modern football and home to some of the world’s most iconic stadiums, brings together 20 clubs for 38 matchdays between August and May. Feel the electricity of Manchester derbies, the magic of Anfield’s Kop or the cutting-edge Tottenham Hotspur Stadium while exploring cities steeped in history, traditional pubs and a football culture that never pauses—not even at Christmas.
The competition was launched in 1992 when First Division clubs broke away from the Football League to modernise broadcast rights and upgrade facilities. Since then, it has grown into the planet’s most-watched league.
Memorable milestones include Alan Shearer’s all-time scoring record, the “Invincible” Arsenal side of 2003-04 that went unbeaten, Leicester City’s 5,000-to-1 title triumph in 2016 and the near-perfect points shoot-outs between Liverpool and Manchester City at the end of the 2010s.
Legends such as Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney defined past eras. Today the league shines with stars like Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Kevin De Bruyne and Son Heung-min, plus new talents emerging each weekend.
The season usually kicks off in mid-August and wraps up in mid-May. Matches are mainly played at weekends, with occasional Monday or Friday night fixtures and midweek double-headers. Highlights include the traditional Boxing Day round on 26 December and the festive period, when clubs can play up to three matches in eight days.
Tickets are released by each club in several phases, and kick-off times can shift up to six weeks in advance for television. Book accommodation early—especially in London, Liverpool and Manchester—and consider adding stadium tours or domestic cup games to round out the experience.
