Premier League: Arsenal's Title Defence, New Arrivals All You Need To Know Ahead Of New Season

By IANS News August 20, 2026 • 16:10 PM View: 133

The Premier League: The Premier League returns for the 2026/27 season with Arsenal beginning their title defence, three clubs returning to the top flight and another campaign bringing together some of the world’s best players, managers and clubs.

After a dramatic 2025/26 season, Arsenal enter the new campaign as champions for the first time since 2003/04. Their title triumph made them the third different Premier League champions in as many seasons, following Manchester City in 2023/24 and Liverpool in 2024/25.

But the title race is only one part of the Premier League story. From the battle for European qualification to the fight against relegation, last season demonstrated that there is plenty at stake across the table.
