Tracing the Changes in Football Leagues: A Timeline of Format Adaptations

The Premier League was formed in 1992 after the Football Association allowed clubs to break away from the previous league system. The format of the Premier league has remained largely unchanged since its inception. Other football leagues around the world have undergone significant changes to their format and structure. The expansion of European competitions has created more opportunities for punters to place bets on a wider range of matches. 2026 World Cup will include 48 teams instead of 32. It will kick off with 16 groups of three teams and end with a knockout stage. There will be a group stage followed by a single-elimination tournament.
