The European Super League is a replacement for the UEFA Champions League. The founder members will always qualify, while 5 teams can earn their way in each season as wildcards.
It differs to the Champions League because there won't be pointless contests between the likes of Barcelona and terrible placeholder teams like Celtic that would never win in 100 attempts.
Everyone is jumping in to say that it's corrupt and money whoring, but it won't actually affect that much in the footballing world. Those teams will still compete domestically, their players will still play for their national teams...nobody will notice the difference.
The whole European Super League controversy strikes me as manufactured to produce an outcome favorable to progressive entities, giving them the perfect excuse to mandate more money for women's football under the guise of a review into their business practices. The UK government has threatened to take major actions against the clubs involved in this. Government controlled sports teams were a thing in the former USSR, we might see them return if "the fans" don't stop going full retard.
Even the whiners technically win, because there will be a women's super league, which will probably be like the WNBA, a parasitic organization that exists purely so women don't burn the whole thing down with MeToo accusations.
Those teams will still compete domestically, their players will still play for their national teams...nobody will notice the difference.
You're leaving out that the new larger Super League would become the priority tournament year round. This would make the Premier League (the most popular, lucrative domestic soccer league in the world) into an afterthought, similar to the currently stagnant Carabao Cup. Teams in the Super League could afford massive squads, with the best players being reserved for the Super League, and the formerly number one Premier League being used to play fringe players.
Because of the fact that - unlike in the entire European football pyramid - the fifteen founder teams would not require any qualification via domestic league status, there will be no incentive whatsoever to risk major players in the Premier League, or to make serious efforts to win it.
It's a closed shop. Forever. No Leicester City miracles ever again.
What is the whole "Euro Super League" shit, and why is it good/bad?

The official website only contains this one statement.

So another way to punish the UK for Brexit by stealing all that Premiere League money...
