How it's used
Local fans almost never use the full name when talking about the league. It is standard to shorten it to 英超, which is the default way to refer to the competition in casual conversation. Using the full name sounds overly formal or like reading from a news script.
Examples
Are you going to watch the English Premier League tonight?
He really likes watching the English Premier League.

Common mistake
