There are a ton of individual leagues. For instance, in England, you have the EPL, Championship, League 1 and League 2. The lower league you're in the worse you are. The lowest 3 teams in the EPL are relegated to the lower league, and the highest in the championship league are promoted to the EPL.
Spain has their own leagues, as does Germany, Scotland and spanish countries.
The rules are all pretty standard but the governing body may be a bit different between leagues.
I can't remember off hand when the EPL season ends, but along with the EPL, you have internationals, Carling Cups, FA Cups, UEFA Champions League (where the clubs fight it out to be called Champions of the world) and their League Cups. So footballers are traveled well and have to play in a multitude of other games other than just their league games. It's quite brutal in reality
