Caretaker appointments are managers that fill the gap between a managerial departure and a new appointment. The UEFA Pro Licence is required by every person who wishes to manage a club in the Premier League on a permanent basis (i.e., more than 12 weeks, the amount of time an unqualified caretaker manager is allowed to take control). Managers are required to have a UEFA Pro Licence which is the final coaching qualification available, and follows the completion of the UEFA 'B' and 'A' Licences. Central payments for the 2016-17 season amounted to £2,398,515,773 across the 20 clubs, with each team receiving a flat participation fee of £35,301,989 and additional payments for TV broadcasts (£1,016,690 for general UK rights to match highlights, £1,136,083 for each live UK broadcast of their games and £39,090,596 for all overseas rights), commercial rights (a flat fee of £4,759,404) and a notional measure of "merit" which was based upon final league position.

The remaining 116 games were retained by Sky who paid £760 million-a-year. 중계 티비 of Manchester United holds the record for scoring goals in consecutive seasons, having scored in the first 21 seasons of the league. Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer hold the record for most goals in a season (34) - for Newcastle and Blackburn respectively. Most famously, Professor Sue Bridgewater of the University of Liverpool and Dr. Arsène Wenger is the longest-serving manager, having been in charge of Arsenal in the Premier League from 1996 to his retirement at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, and holds the record for most matches managed in the Premier League with 828, all with Arsenal. The past 50 years since the legislation in 1957, the Foreign Trade Law of Korea has played a key role to develope the foreign trade, and to expand the market from the domestic to the world. As of the 2017-18 season, Premier League football has been played in 58 stadiums since the formation of the division.

For the 2012-13 season the Premier League has 10 representatives in the Association: Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Ferguson was in charge of Manchester United from November 1986 until his retirement at the end of the 2012-13 season, meaning he was manager for the last five years of the old Football League First Division and all of the first 21 seasons of the Premier League. Their influence varies from club-to-club and is related to the ownership of the club and the relationship of the manager with fans.

The following clubs are not competing in the Premier League during the 2019-20 season, but have previously competed in the Premier League for at least one season. An exception to the usual European qualification system happened in 2005, after Liverpool won the Champions League the year before, but did not finish in a Champions League qualification place in the Premier League that season. This occurred in 2012, when Chelsea - who had won the Champions League that summer, but finished sixth in the league - qualified for the Champions League in place of Tottenham Hotspur, who went into the Europa League.

Additionally, the media occasionally discusses the idea that Scotland's two biggest teams, Celtic and Rangers, should or will take part in the Premier League, but nothing has come of these discussions. The FA announced on 4 June 2015 that it would not pursue any further title sponsorship deals for the Premier League, arguing that they wanted to build a "clean" brand for the competition more in line with those of major U.S. As well as sponsorship for the league itself, the Premier League has a number of official partners and suppliers. The record transfer fee for a Premier League player has risen steadily over the lifetime of the competition. UEFA subsequently ruled that the defending champions qualify for the competition the following year regardless of their domestic league placing. Since its split with the Football League, many established clubs in the Premier League have managed to distance themselves from their counterparts in lower leagues. Since 2017, the chocolate company Cadbury is the official snack partner of the Premier League, and sponsors the Premier League Golden Boot and Premier League Golden Glove awards. The Premier League sells its television rights on a collective basis. However, for those leagues with four entrants in the Champions League, this meant that if the Champions League winner finished outside the top four in its domestic league, it would qualify at the expense of the fourth-placed team in the league.

The fifth-placed team in the Premier League, as well as the winner of the FA Cup, qualifies for the subsequent season's UEFA Europa League group stage, but if the winner also finished in the top five places in the Premier League or has won one of UEFA's major tournaments, then this place reverts to the team that finished sixth. In the rare event that more than two clubs are vying for the title on the final day of the season - then a replica won by a previous club is used. Between the 1992-93 and the 2018-19 seasons, Premier League clubs won the UEFA Champions League five times (and had seven runners-up), behind Spain's La Liga with eleven wins, level with Italy's Serie A, and ahead of, among others, Germany's Bundesliga with three wins. 49 clubs have played in the Premier League from its inception in 1992, up to and including the 2018-19 season. In the 2018-19 season the average annual salary stood at £2.99 million. The Premier League's record average attendance of 36,144 was set during the 2007-08 season.

As a result of the increasingly lucrative television deals, player wages rose sharply following the formation of the Premier League when the average player wage was £75,000 per year. The ratio of the wages of the highest paid team to lowest paid in the Premier League is 6.82 to 1. This is much lower than in La Liga (19.1 to 1), Serie A (16 to 1), Bundesliga (20.5 to 1), and Ligue 1(26.6 to 1). Because of the lower differential between team wage bills in the Premier League, it is often regarded as being more competitive than other top European leagues. Managers in the Premier League are involved in the day-to-day running of the team, including the training, team selection and player acquisition.
