Premier League 1992-93

The 1992–93 FA Premier League was the first season of the Premier League, the top division of English football. The league was made up of the 22 clubs that broke away from The Football League at the end of the 1991–92 season. The new league was backed up by a five-year, £305 million deal with BSkyB to televise Premiership matches. In concept, the Premier League was identical to the old First Division of the Football League, which was now reduced to three divisions.
