ive been playing fifa for a while and this sport seems so fun to watch. problem is i dont know how to get into it. basketball is pretty straightforward with the NBA, but for football, all the different leagues and awards are confusing me, and idk where to even start. would appreciate some help.

I would say Premier League is the easiest league to follow since it’s the most available and marketed one.

Pick a team you like and watch all their games. Pre-game conferences, post-game conferences, interviews, there is a lot of substance to make you fall in love with a team.

Since the PL is such a competitive league you will enjoy watching most of the games, especially teams that are close to the team that you support in the rankings. If your team is in European competition you watch those games during weekdays Tuesday-Thursday. Other than that the League games are usually on the weekends with some being played on Fridays and Mondays.

Interesting teams to watch right now would be Arsenal, Newcastle and City from the PL. They play really good football, have a lot of youth that are promising and they are doing really good in England as well as in Europe. This is not a bias opinion since I’m a Man U fan and I would never suggest you to watch this club considering the level of football for the past decade.

Agree with the Prem League. There's also a shit ton of decent podcasts about it from places like The Athletic, The BBC, The Guardian etc.
