The 2013–14 Premier League will be the 22nd season of Premier League, the English professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1992. The season will start on Saturday 17 August 2013 with the season concluding on Sunday May 11, 2014 and the fixtures will be announced on 19 June 2013. The television broadcast rights will be given two-to-three weeks later.[1] This will be the first season of the Premier League to use goal-line technology, with The Football Association having announced that Hawk-Eye will be installed over a period of up to six weeks in the stadia of the 17 teams who avoided relegation and the three teams promoted during the previous season.[2] Manchester United will go into the season as defending champions without Sir Alex Ferguson as manager for first time in the Premier League.

Teams

A total of 20 teams will contest the league, including 17 sides from the 2012–13 season[3] and three promoted from the 2012–13 Football League Championship.

On 16 April 2013, Cardiff City earned promotion from the 2012–13 Football League Championship. They returned to the top division after being absent for 51 years.[4] This will be the first season that Cardiff City have been in the Premier League. This season will feature both Cardiff City and Swansea City which means that it will be the first time the South Wales Derby will feature in the top flight.[5] It will also be the first time that two clubs outside of England will feature in the top flight of English football in the same season.

On 4 May 2013, Hull City earned promotion to the Premier League after a brief absence of three seasons. Hull needed to beat Cardiff City on the final day of the season to maintain second place, but a draw was sufficient following Watford's dramatic loss at home to Leeds United.[6]

On 27 May 2013, Crystal Palace claimed the final promotion place, after beating Watford in the Football League Championship play-off final;,[7] Kevin Phillips converting a penalty in extra time. Palace will be playing in the Premier League for the first time since the 2004–05 season.

The three teams replace Queens Park Rangers, Reading and Wigan Athletic who were all relegated to the Championship in the prior season.
