Where to watch this season?
In France, the Premier League stays with Canal+ and its football channels.
The season format
The Premier League has 20 clubs and 38 matchweeks, from 21 August 2026 to 30 May 2027. The opening and closing rounds were both pushed back a week because of the 2026 World Cup.
Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City come up from the Championship — after twenty-five, one and nine years away respectively. They replace West Ham, Burnley and Wolverhampton.
Two changes this season: gambling sponsors are banned from the front of match-day shirts, and the calendar drops to four international breaks instead of five, including a three-week gap between late September and early October.
