Premier League 2025–26 season gathers momentum
The 2025–26 Premier League season is officially in full swing, with all 20 teams now firmly into the long campaign that will define the title race, European qualification, and relegation battle.
After Liverpool lifted the trophy last season, 19 clubs began the new campaign hoping to prevent a repeat. Early results already suggest another highly competitive year at the top of England’s top flight.
Early leaders and title contenders
Arsenal have emerged as the early pace-setters, sitting top of the table with an impressive combination of consistency and goal difference. Close behind, Manchester City and Aston Villa remain firmly in the title conversation.
Defending champions Liverpool are still within reach but have work to do if they are to close the gap and mount a sustained challenge.
Mid-table congestion and surprise performers
The middle of the table is tightly packed, with clubs such as Sunderland and Everton exceeding early expectations. Promoted sides have made a competitive start, while several established teams continue to search for consistency.
Last season’s unpredictable runs — including surprise climbs and unexpected slides — appear set to repeat, keeping the league wide open.
