Watch Premier League 2026/27 live streams
The 2026/27 Premier League season is up and running, and on early evidence, Arsenal may have pulled further clear of the pack. Whereas the Gunners purred to an opening night victory, Man City and Liverpool were distinctly workmanlike. The weekend, however, belonged to Hull, Brentford and Brighton.
Matchday 2 gets underway with a Friday night clash between Crystal Palace and Man City. The Eagles have been a thorn in City's side over recent campaigns, but with both sides very much in transition under Pierre Sage and Enzo Maresca, there's no telling what we can expect.
Saturday will serve up two potential blockbusters as Liverpool face Nottingham Forest and Tottenham host Newcastle.
Oliver Glasner's Forest switch was a head-scratcher not just because he'd been linked with some of the biggest clubs in the world, but because owner Evangelos Marinakis is notoriously trigger-happy. After starting his tenure with two straight defeats, Glasner's future is already in the balance.
Aston Villa were more shambolic than even Man Utd and Tottenham in their opening fixture, which is saying something, but in Unai Emery's defence he'd just lost Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans and Ezri Konsa, and been left without a striker after Ollie Watkins went on strike. Arsenal are the last team they'd have wanted to face.

Premier League Preview
Love them or loathe them, Arsenal's first Premier League title in 22 years has electrified the competition by spurring their rivals into drastic action. Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea each installed new managers over the summer, hot on the heels of Man Utd and Tottenham, who surely can't spend a third consecutive campaign battling the drop.
The impact of Mikel Arteta's generational dark arts isn't likely to stop. Arsenal gamed the system so effectively that referees have had to literally rewrite the rulebook in order to clamp down on play-acting and time-wasting at set-pieces, substitutions and other breaks in play. Will the Gunners alter their approach or set their sights on fresh innovations? The signing of Bruno Guimaraes feels a little like Lord Voldemort getting his hands on the Elder Wand.
Newcastle's clash with Liverpool is the standout fixture of the opening weekend, a new chapter in a storied rivalry, which will see Matthias Jaissle and Andoni Iraola take charge of their new sides for the first time in a competitive game. Both teams are coming off a decidedly patchy preseason.
New boys Coventry, Hull and Ipswich, back in the top flight after 25-, nine- and one-year absences respectively, are hoping to emulate Sunderland, who defied the odds under Regis Le Bris to qualify for Europe for the first time since 1974. Hull, incidentally, were odds-on to be relegated to League One a year ago – Sergej Jakirovic won promotion via the playoffs instead.
Up to nine teams will compete in Europe this season, including debutants Bournemouth and clubs that don't have a huge amount of strength in depth, like Crystal Palace, Brighton and the aforementioned Black Cats. That could result in a huge shift in the middle of the pack, with Everton, Brentford and Fulham amongst those that should be looking to capitalise.
