The English Premier League (EPL) was established in 1992, replacing the old First Division as the top tier of English football. It was created to take advantage of the growing commercial opportunities in football, especially from television rights, and to increase the competitiveness of the league. Early Years (1992-1996): The inaugural 1992–93 season had 22 teams, and Manchester United emerged as the first champions under the Premier League banner. United dominated the league in its early years, with Sir Alex Ferguson's managerial success becoming a major story.

Chelsea and Arsenal’s Rise (Late 1990s - 2000s): Arsenal, under Arsène Wenger, became a key challenger to Manchester United. The team won three Premier League titles between 1998 and 2004, including the famous "Invincibles" season in 2003–04 when they went unbeaten. Chelsea became a force after Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought the club in 2003, investing heavily in top players.
