The 2025/26 Premier League season is finally here, and fans are eagerly anticipating the return of their favorite teams. After a record-breaking summer spending spree, with clubs collectively splurging over £2 billion, the spotlight now turns to whether the dazzling new arrivals can deliver. Reigning champions Liverpool lead the way, having poured nearly £300 million into transfers, while Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United have also flexed their financial muscle.
Some of the top stars to watch out for this season include Mohamed Salah, who continues to be Liverpool’s goal machine, and Virgil van Dijk, who anchors the defense with world-class leadership. Other notable players include Bukayo Saka, the dynamic force in attack for Arsenal, and Erling Haaland, the lethal goalscorer for Manchester City. New signings to keep an eye on include Florian Wirtz, Liverpool’s record signing, who arrives to pull the strings in midfield, and Viktor Gyökeres, who should finally solve Arsenal’s No. 9 problem.
The battle for the Premier League’s top scorer title is already shaping up to be a fierce contest, with Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyökeres, Benjamin Šeško, and Hugo Ekitike all in the conversation. Haaland, Salah, and Isak’s clinical form make them strong challengers, while new arrivals Gyökeres and Šeško have added fresh firepower to the league.
The season ignites Friday night with Liverpool hosting Bournemouth, setting the stage for an electrifying campaign defined by fresh faces, tested veterans, and shifting power dynamics. This match promises to be an exciting start to the season, with both teams looking to make a strong impression.
The 2025/26 Premier League season will consist of 33 weekends and five midweek match rounds, with no fixtures on Christmas Eve. The season starts on August 16, 2025, and ends on May 24, 2026, ensuring ample preparation time for the 2026 World Cup.
