Premier League at a glance
The Premier League is the English top flight and a favourite with bettors across Africa.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Official name | Premier League (English Premier League, EPL) |
| Organiser | The Premier League |
| Number of teams | 20 clubs, 38 matches each, 380 in total |
| Season months | August to May (2026/27 ends on 30 May 2027) |
| Relegation | Bottom three go down to the EFL Championship |
| European places | Usually the top four reach the UEFA Champions League; extra places can go to the Europa League and Conference League |
In 2025/26, England earned a fifth Champions League place. That extra place depends on how English clubs do in Europe, so it is not fixed every season.
Premier League kick-off times in Africa
Premier League times are set in UK time. The UK changes its clocks twice a year, but our six countries do not.
- UK winter (GMT, UTC+0): from the last Sunday in October to the last Sunday in March.
- UK summer (BST, UTC+1): from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October.
| UK kick-off | Nigeria, Ghana | South Africa (SAST) | Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania (EAT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15:00 in UK winter | 16:00 (Ghana 15:00) | 17:00 | 18:00 |
| 15:00 in UK summer | 15:00 (Ghana 14:00) | 16:00 | 17:00 |
| 20:00 in UK winter | 21:00 (Ghana 20:00) | 22:00 | 23:00 |
| 20:00 in UK summer | 20:00 (Ghana 19:00) | 21:00 | 22:00 |
Nigeria uses West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1). Ghana uses GMT (UTC+0), so Ghana has the same time as the UK in winter. Always check the kick-off time on your bet slip before you bet.
Recent champions
| Season | Champion |
|---|---|
| 2025/26 | Arsenal |
| 2024/25 | Liverpool |
| 2023/24 | Manchester City |
The 2023/24 title was Manchester City's fourth in a row. Arsenal's 2025/26 title was their first in 22 years.
Biggest clubs and derbies
The clubs at the top in recent seasons include Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa. All five reached the Champions League from the 2025/26 table.
Games between these top clubs often have the most betting interest. Local derbies can be tense and close, so the league table matters less than usual.
Premier League betting example: Arsenal vs Liverpool
Say you think Arsenal will not lose at home, but a draw is possible. Draw no bet gives your stake back if the match is a draw.
You stake (the money you bet) ₦1,000 on Arsenal draw no bet at 1.55 (example odds).
| Final score | Result | Return on ₦1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| 2–1 | Arsenal win | ₦1,550.00 |
| 1–1 | Draw, stake back | ₦1,000.00 |
| 0–1 | Liverpool win | ₦0.00 |
If the match ends 2–1, you get ₦1,000 × 1.55 = ₦1,550. Your profit is ₦550.
A straight Arsenal win in 1X2 might be 2.10 (example odds). KSh 100 at 2.10 returns KSh 210 if Arsenal win. But a draw loses the whole KSh 100. Try other amounts in the payout calculator.
How to analyse a Premier League match
To analyse a Premier League match, look at several factors together. No single factor decides a game.
- Form. Look at recent league games and how well teams played. See team form.
- Home advantage. Home teams know their pitch and have their fans. Read how home advantage works.
- Travel. Teams back from a European away game may be tired.
- Pitch and weather. Winter rain and wind in England can make games slower and scrappier.
- Fixture congestion. December has many matches close together. Big clubs often rotate players.
- Team news. Injuries, suspensions and players away on international duty matter. See injuries and odds.
For a full checklist, read how to analyse a football match.
Popular markets for Premier League
The most popular Premier League markets are:
- 1X2: home win, draw or away win.
- Over 2.5 goals: three or more goals in the match.
- GG/NG: whether both teams score.
- Double chance and draw no bet: cover for a draw.
- Asian handicap: a head start for the weaker team.
Many people add EPL games to an accumulator. Each extra game lowers your chance of winning. Example: GH₵10 on a three-game accumulator at 1.50, 1.60 and 1.80 (example odds) gives odds of 4.32. It returns GH₵43.20 only if all three win.
Betting tax and law
Betting tax and law depend on where you live, not where the match is played. Check your country's page before you bet:
- Kenya: betting tax in Kenya 2026 and the Kenya hub
- Nigeria: betting tax in Nigeria and the Nigeria hub
- Ghana: betting tax in Ghana and the Ghana hub
- Uganda: betting tax in Uganda and the Uganda hub
- Tanzania: betting tax in Tanzania and the Tanzania hub
- South Africa: is online betting legal in South Africa and the South Africa hub
Only bet with an operator licensed in your country.
Common mistakes
- Getting the kick-off time wrong. UK clocks change in March and October, so times move by one hour.
- Backing big clubs every week. Top teams still lose and draw.
- Long EPL accumulators. One surprise result loses the whole slip.
- Ignoring midweek European games. Tired or rotated teams change the odds.
- Betting on your favourite club. Support for a team is not a reason to bet.
