How many rounds and matches does the Premier League have?
In the inaugural season 1992–1993, the Premier League had 22 participating teams with 42 rounds. This number lasted until the end of the 1994–1995 season. Subsequently, the World Football Federation (FIFA) asked the Premier League organizers to reduce the number of participating teams and the number of rounds.
Currently, a Premier League season has a total of 38 rounds with 380 matches. Most games are played on weekends (7th afternoon, Sunday). Accordingly, each team will play against other opponents 2 times (round-robin of 2 legs), 1 match at home, 1 match away.
On 7 February 2008, the round of 39 (also known as the international round) was proposed in the Premier League with the aim of allowing matches to be played outside England. However, this proposal has been opposed by coaches and many major football organizations around the world.

Top 5 records that are hard to break in the Premier League 2
1. The fastest Hat-Trick in history
On 15 May 2015, Sadio Mane added his name to the Premier League record list by becoming the player who scored a hat-trick in the shortest time with a record of 2 minutes 56 seconds. At the time, Mane was still playing for Southampton. Against Aston Villa, Mane scored first in the 13th minute and then scored the next two to complete the fastest hat-trick in history.

2. 17 away losses in a season
In the 2009/2010 season, Burnley finished the season having lost 17 of their 19 away games all season. The Clarets won only one game against Hull City and earned a draw against Manchester City. With this string of poor results, at the end of that season, Burnley won only 30 points from 38 games, thereby finishing the season in 18th place and being relegated, playing in the Championship.
3. 20 goals and 20 assists in 1 season
In a highly competitive league like the Premier League, scoring 20 goals in a season is considered a big challenge no matter what the player is. However, in the 2002-2003 season, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry not only scored 20 goals, but this player also had 20 assists, which is almost unthinkable. Broadly speaking, up to now, superstar Lionel Messi is the only player who can do the same with the Frenchman.
4. 49 matches unbeaten
While managing Arsenal, Arsene Wenger turned the club into one of the true forces of English football. Between May 2003 and October 2004, he and his players set a record by going unbeaten in 49 consecutive games. In particular, in the 2003/2004 season, the year that the "Gunners" were crowned champions, they had an 'invincible' record of not losing any 1 match during the 38 rounds of the tournament. It wasn't until October 24, 2004, that streak officially stopped after a 2 - 0 defeat to rivals Manchester United.

5. The runners-up won the most points

It was not until the final round that the championship was determined as Manchester City won the title with 98 points. Meanwhile, despite trying very hard, Liverpool finished second with 1 point less. However, with 97 points, Liverpool also became the second-placed team with the highest score. Even that score is higher than the score of some previous Premier League champions.
