Highlights of the 2025/2026 EPL Season

The 34th season of the English Premier League commenced in August and is scheduled to conclude on 24 May 2026. Liverpool began the season as the defending champions, having won their second EPL title. To reduce false calls, semi-automated offside technology has been in use since its introduction in April, towards the end of the previous season.

In August, Liverpool's Arne Slot won the Manager of the Month award, while Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace snatched it in September.

Some important EPL matches that could change the standings as the season progresses are:

Manchester City vs Chelsea on 3 January 2026
Arsenal vs Chelsea on 28 February 2026
Manchester City vs Arsenal 18 April 2026

Premier League Betting History

Premier League history blessed the fans with many surprising outcomes, but none seem greater than Leicester City's championship run in the 2015/16 season. With a new manager and a squad of unproven players, Leicester were far from favourites before the beginning of the season. However, despite all football odds being against them, they managed to win the trophy.

With four straight titles from 2020 to 2024, Manchester City has been the most dominant club in recent years. They'll likely contend in upcoming seasons, but as we've seen in history, an underdog could come out on top at any time.
