Premier League — quick answers
Why is the Saturday 3pm game not on TV in the UK?
The '3pm blackout' bars live broadcasts in the UK between 2:45pm and 5:15pm on Saturdays to protect attendance at lower-league grounds. Everywhere else in the world can watch — one of football's stranger quirks.
How long is a Premier League match?
About two hours of real time: 90 minutes plus stoppage time and a 15-minute half-time break.
How many games are in a Premier League season?
Each of the 20 clubs plays 38 matches from August to May — 380 games in total, most of them on Saturday.
