The 2025–2026 English Premier League season begins today, firing up football fans worldwide.
Liverpool begin the new season as defending champions, chasing their 21st title overall.
They open the campaign against Bournemouth at Anfield, launching 38 weeks of fierce competition among some 20 teams.
Promoted sides Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland join the top flight, reviving the Tyne-Wear derby for the first time since 2015-2016.
This will also be the first full season using semi-automated offside technology, and Puma takes over from Nike as the official match ball supplier.
Last season saw Arsenal finish second for the third year in a row, with Manchester City and Chelsea finishing in third and fourth place respectively.
