About the Premier League quiz

The Premier League rebranded English football in 1992, and three decades on it's the most-watched league in the world. This free Premier League quiz covers the lot — the title races, the records, the managers and the moments that became shorthand the second they happened.

It starts with the era of Manchester United dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson, runs through Arsène Wenger's Arsenal "Invincibles" of 2003-04 — the only side to go a full 38-game season unbeaten — and lands on the modern superpowers. Sergio Agüero's stoppage-time goal to win City the 2012 title off the very last kick. Leicester City's 5,000-1 fairy tale in 2016. Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool finally ending a 30-year wait for the league in 2020. And Pep Guardiola's City hitting 100 points in 2017-18, the first team ever to reach the century mark.

The records get their own questions too: Alan Shearer's 260 goals, the all-time scoring mark that still stands; Mohamed Salah's 32 in a 38-game season, since beaten by Erling Haaland's 36; the 95-point and 98-point title-winning totals; and the red cards, captains and one-season wonders that fans love to argue about. Difficulty climbs from gentle openers about famous champions to genuinely hard questions about specific seasons, points tallies and squad details.

As with every Ball IQ quiz, each answer carries a one-line explanation, so a question you get wrong teaches you the fact behind it. Play the sample below for free, then open the app for the full Premier League bank and the daily challenge.
