Foreword: Secretary of State
Football is not just a sport. It is part of our history, our heritage, and our national way of life - bringing communities across the country together week in, and week out.

The Premier League and...
Foreword: Minister for Sport
Football touches all our communities in so many ways. The game is part of the DNA that makes up the identities of our regions, towns, and cities.

1. Background
1.1. This country created the beautiful game; the first football club in 1857, the Football Association in 1863, the first Football League in 1888 and the world’s foremost league, the Premier League, in 1992.

Its top league attracts more viewers and higher revenues than any of its international rivals.[footnote 2] The 2022 Summer Transfer Window saw record gross spending by Premier League clubs of £1.9 billion- almost as much as the other 4 top leagues (in Spain, Germany, Italy and France) combined - fuelled by a new broadcasting deal, which rose in value while other major European leagues’ deals decreased.

3: The Regulator
3.1. In the Government Response, the government agreed to the founding principle of the Review, to legislate for a new Regulator when Parliamentary time allows. That remains the case.
4: The regulatory framework
4.1. The Regulator will implement and enforce its regulation of clubs through a licensing system.

It would allow the Regulator to tailor obligations proportionately to clubs, minimising the burden of regul...
11: Procedural safeguards

These would ensure the Regulator is using its powers appropriately, is making considered evidence-led decisions, and is accountable for its actions. 11.2. The checks and balances that would apply to the Regulator can broadly be grouped into the 5 categories in table 4. Each of these will be crucial to the success of the Regulator, the risk of...
