Exciting changes and new managers are here as Sky Sports gets ready to show 1,500 matches!
The Premier League is back, bringing all the excitement and drama that make every season so thrilling. After a summer full of changes on and off the field—including a record number of new managers—the 2026/27 season is shaping up to be one of the most interesting yet.
This year, there are 1,500 live games across the leagues, with 215 in the Premier League alone. And there’s no better place to catch every moment than Sky Sports.
So, what can we expect this season? Even before the first kick, there’s plenty to talk about. New rules are in place to speed up the game and stop time-wasting, with tighter limits on throw-ins, goal kicks, and substitutions. VAR can now also step in for second yellow cards and fouls before set pieces.
Teams are changing too, both on and off the pitch. Big names are shaking things up. At Manchester City, Enzo Maresca takes over from Pep Guardiola, while stars like Rodri, John Stones, and Bernardo Silva have moved on, signaling a fresh start. Liverpool also face a new chapter with Andoni Iraola stepping in after Arne Slot’s first season, and without the star Mohamed Salah for now.
Tottenham have been busy signing players like Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, aiming to climb back up the table. Chelsea made headlines with a record deal to bring friends Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer together again under manager Xabi Alonso. Manchester United, led by new boss Michael Carrick, are looking to build on their late-season comeback.
But will any of these teams catch champions Arsenal? Mikel Arteta’s squad, boosted by Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, will be eager to hold on to the trophy.
All these stories and more make the new season so exciting. Who will bring the best signings? Which managers will shine—and which won’t? Can Arsenal defend their title?
There’s plenty to look forward to, and from the first game right through to the last, Sky Sports is your go-to for every twist and turn. With 1,500 live games this season, plus expert analysis to bring the action to life, you won’t miss a thing.
