English Premier League 2025/26 Kicks Off with Drama and New Beginnings

16 August 2025 – The English Premier League has begun with much excitement. The new season is now underway. It had a strong start, full of action and emotion. Fans across India and the world are watching closely.

Opening Matches Set the Tone

Liverpool, last season’s champions, started their campaign with a dramatic 4–2 win over Bournemouth at Anfield. The match was emotional. Liverpool paid tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva before the game. New signing Hugo Ekitike scored early and helped set the stage. Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo scored twice despite facing racist abuse during the match. The incident caused a brief stoppage, but soon play resumed. In the end, Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah secured the win for Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Manchester United and Arsenal meet at Old Trafford. Both teams have changed a lot over the summer.

Arsenal have spent heavily on new players like Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, and Noni Madueke. Their manager, Mikel Arteta, confirmed that Gyokeres will make his Premier League debut in this match.

Aston Villa Faces Penalty for Rule Breach

Aston Villa has been fined £125,000 by the Premier League. They broke the league’s rules on the multiball system, used to speed up the game. They admitted five violations last season. The result? They cannot use the multiball system at their first three home games—against Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and Fulham.

Fixtures and Season Plan

The season began on Friday, 15 August 2025, with Liverpool’s opener. The full schedule runs until Sunday, 24 May 2026. That keeps the campaign ahead of the World Cup year and gives players rest time during the busy holiday period.

New Technology and Global Reach

This season marks the first full campaign using semi-automated offside technology. It aims to make decisions faster and more accurately. Also, Puma replaces Nike as the official ball supplier.
