The Premier League is back, and with it comes nine months of drama, passion and unpredictability.
Liverpool, under Arne Slot, start the 2025/26 campaign as champions and clear favorites, but Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham all believe they can mount a serious challenge.
The league also welcomes three familiar names back to the top flight: Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland, each eager to show they can handle the intensity of England’s elite competition.
This season ushers in a few notable changes. The Nike match ball, a fixture in the league for 25 years, has been replaced by PUMA’s sleek new design, a symbol of the Premier League’s fresh chapter.
Everton, meanwhile, step into a new era with the grand opening of their waterfront home, the Hill Dickinson Stadium, a state-of-the-art venue that adds another jewel to the league’s crown.
For Ghanaian football fans, there is even more reason to follow the action closely. Mohammed Kudus, now at Tottenham, will shoulder greater responsibility and is expected to play a starring role in Thomas Frank’s attacking setup.
Antoine Semenyo will try to build on his breakout season at Bournemouth, while Brighton’s Tariq Lamptey will continue to be one of the most dynamic full-backs in the division.
As ever, the Premier League will be defined by moments — last-minute goals, tactical masterstrokes, and individual brilliance.
From August 2025 to May 2026, the journey promises to be as exhilarating as ever, with every club chasing its own dream, whether that’s the title, Europe, or survival. The opening match at Anfield on Friday night will set the tone.
