Being the capital of England and a city where the most watched and participated in sport is soccer, naturally London has quite the hold on the sport. The 20 teams that are in the Premier League every year is generally pretty diverse, but there hasn’t been a single year since the league kicked off where a few London teams haven’t been involved.
But of the 20 teams in the Prem, just how many are based in London?
As of the 2022/2023 season, there are 7 teams from London in the Premier League. This is the first season where seven London teams are in the Prem since the 1994/1995 season. The most London participants to ever be in the Premier League is 8, which happened once in the 1989/1990 season.
Below is an outline of all of the London teams in this Premier League for the 2022/2023 season.
London is the home to 17 professional clubs, dozens of semi-professional clubs and hundreds and hundreds of amateur clubs. The way the relegation system works is that every year, the top few clubs on each table are promoted to the league above them and the bottom few clubs on each table are relegated to the league below them. This means that theoretically, any team can make it up to the Premier League in a number of seasons. If you’d like to read more about that system, click here.
