What other soccer leagues are there in the UK and Europe?

If you are adventurous enough there are a host of other divisions further down the English Football League (EFL) system—also known as the football pyramid—where you can take in a more grassroots football experience. One step down from the Premier League, you'll find the EFL Championship. Here you'll find sleeping giants including the likes of Cardiff, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester City, Ipswich Town, Norwich City, QPR, Millwall, and Southampton. Some former big-hitters like Portsmouth, Charlton Athletic, Bolton Wanderers, Wigan Athletic, and Derby County now ply their trade in League One, while League Two is home to teams such as AFC Wimbledon, Milton Keynes Dons, Notts County, and Wrexham—owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Up in Scotland you’ve got Rangers and Celtic in Glasgow, Hearts and Hibernian in Edinburgh, as well as Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, Livingston, Motherwell, and more.

How to buy Premier League tickets as a tourist?

Getting your hands on tickets to Premier League matches can be easier said than done as games often sell out, particularly at popular clubs and smaller grounds. You can purchase tickets safely from the official club websites of the teams you want to watch, as well as at the ticket office in person or over the phone. Clubs will also provide details of any authorized ticket partners on their official websites and while it isn’t illegal to buy tickets from touts (a British term for a "scalper") or unofficial agents—it certainly is illegal to sell tickets as a tout in the UK, however—you do run the risk of purchasing counterfeit or stolen tickets.
