The 2024–25 Premier League season can be accused of many things, but predictability is not one of them.
Liverpool claimed their second-ever Premier League title despite the departure of long-time boss Jürgen Klopp in the summer. His successor, Arne Slot, made an immediate impact—guiding the Reds through a dominant campaign and making the league look deceptively easy.
Manchester City, by contrast, saw their four-year reign come to an end in disappointing fashion, enduring their poorest season in recent memory. At the same time, Nottingham Forest—who had narrowly avoided relegation in 2023–24—produced a remarkable turnaround, securing European football for the first time in 30 years.
Down at the other end of the table, things played out more predictably, with all three promoted sides—Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton—dropping straight back to the Championship. Even so, the dismal nature of their respective campaigns raised eyebrows, with Southampton narrowly avoiding the infamous record for the lowest Premier League points tally—something they were oddly relieved not to “achieve.”
Now that all the dust has settled, the big question is: when does it all start again? Below, we’ve got everything you need to know about the 2025–26 Premier League season, including its start date and all the key moments to look out for during the campaign.
