The relegated clubs have returned their Premier League share certificates, which have been cancelled by the Premier League Board. The three promoted clubs have been formally registered as Premier League members with new share certificates issued and signed.

The Premier League table has been reset for the new season, with the 20 clubs listed alphabetically.

Ahead of the competitive matches, fans can look forward to pre-season friendlies, including the Summer Series in the United States from July 26 to August 3. Clubs like AFC Bournemouth, Everton, Manchester United, and West Ham will participate in six matches across three US venues.

This transition marks a fresh chapter for the Premier League as it continues to grow its global presence, with official partners such as Barclays, Coca-Cola, Guinness, and Puma supporting the competition. The season promises exciting football action, with new teams eager to prove themselves at the highest level.
