Premier League 2025–26
Season information
Dates	16 August 2025–24 May 2026
Season statistics
← 2024–25	2026–27 →

The 2025–26 Premier League will be the 34th season of the Premier League and the 127th season of top-flight English football overall. There will be no matches on 24 December 2025. The fixtures were released on 18 June 2025, at 09:00 BST.

This will be the first full season where semi-automated offside technology will be used, following its introduction in matchweek 32 of the previous season, on 12 April 2025.

The 2025–26 season will consist of 33 weekend and five midweek rounds of matches. Puma will replace Nike as the official match ball supplier from this season.

Teams

Twenty teams are competing in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season, and the three teams promoted from the Championship. The promoted teams are Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland, returning to the top flight after two, one and eight year absences respectively. They replaced Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton, who were all relegated after just one season in the top flight. This was the second season in succession, and only the third time in English men's top flight history, where all three promoted teams were relegated after just one season.
