The 2025-2026 English Premier League season kicks off today with a host of matches running through the weekend.
Last year’s champion, Liverpool, begins its title defense against Bournemouth today in what will be the official presentation of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, the team’s multi-million dollar new signings.
Chelsea, coming off winning the Club World Cup against France’s PSG, plays against Crystal Palace on Sunday. And Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City begins its quest for redemption after a lackluster campaign last year against Wolverhampton.
