History

Historical Context

When clubs broke from the Football League in February 1992, the new Premier League secured a £304 million Sky Sports deal, sparking a surge in broadcast revenue and a shift toward TV-driven spending. That model underpins today’s title race between Manchester City and Arsenal and the relegation battle that now includes West Ham, echoing the league’s 1992-93 competitive launch.
