In a couple of days, the Premier League returns for the 2025/26 season, and we can already feel the football fever. 

Premier League clubs have wrapped up pre-season games, while sporting directors are closing out what has been a busy summer. The season is about to be in full flow, and it’s safe to say, we’re in for the time of our lives. 

Yes, you might have heard that line last season or the season before, but the 2025/26 season feels different. The energy is palpable. Clubs have stacked rosters of elite talents, and fans are delirious with excitement, waiting impatiently to don their club’s colors and watch these players week in week out. 

The Premier League resumes on Friday, August 15th, with champions Liverpool beginning their title defense against Bournemouth. 

The most exciting match of the opening weekend is the fixture between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford.

After finishing in second position for the third year in a row, Mikel Arteta’s side are now familiar with ‘near-success syndrome.’ Arteta is under a lot of pressure to deliver this season, and there’s no better way to show that you’re up for the job than defeating United away from home.

For Manchester United, Amorim will be looking to play his hand and show that he’s got things under control. A win at Old Trafford on the opening day could determine how the course of his time at Manchester United will go.

While the Arsenal vs Manchester United takes centre stage on Sunday, Aston Villa host Newcastle United in a blockbuster mid-table fixture. Tottenham host newly promoted Burnley, Ait-Nouri travels with Pep Guardiola and Manchester City to his former club, Wolves, while Chelsea welcome Community Shield winners Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge.

The opening weekend kicks off 10 months of spellbinding, nerve-wracking football. The wait is finally over, the Premier League is back.
