The wait is nearly over. The 2025/26 Premier League season kicks off on Friday 15 August, and the buzz is building in pubs, group chats, and fantasy football leagues across the globe.
Between last-minute transfer rumours, pre-season form, and some mouth-watering opening fixtures, the stage is set. If you’re travelling through Europe this season, you won’t struggle to find the perfect pub. Belushi’s Bars across the continent will be showing every match live, with the energy, the screens, and the shouts at the ref you’d expect on matchday.
Get ready, opening weekend (15-18 August) wastes no time bringing the drama:
Friday 15 August
Liverpool vs Bournemouth (20:00)
Saturday 16 August
Aston Villa vs Newcastle (12:30)
Brighton vs Fulham (15:00)
Tottenham vs Burnley (15:00)
Nottingham Forest vs Brentford (15:00)
Sunderland vs West Ham (15:00)
Wolves vs Man City (17:30)
Sunday 17 August
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace (14:00)
Man Utd vs Arsenal (16:30)
Monday 18 August
Leeds vs Everton (20:00)
Expect fireworks early, especially with the high-stakes Man Utd vs Arsenal clash and Liverpool’s home opener.
After another close title race last year, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool are all expected to battle for the top spot. But Newcastle and Aston Villa have shown they’re not just here to make up the numbers. Throw in a reinvigorated Chelsea, a chaotic Manchester United, and whatever version of Spurs turns up this year, and you’ve got the recipe for another unpredictable ride.
There’s also a new wave of young stars ready to break out. With all eyes on players like Haaland, Bellingham (if he returns), and the next 19-year-old wonderkid from Brighton, there’s plenty of talent to watch, even if your team isn’t top of the table.
The Premier League welcomes back Leeds United, Burnley, and Sunderland this season, three clubs with serious history and massive fanbases. All three will be looking to prove they belong back in the big time, though the fight for survival is as fierce as ever.
Teams like Nottingham Forest, Everton, and Brentford could find themselves in danger if they don’t start strong, while newly promoted sides will be aiming to make home grounds like Turf Moor and the Stadium of Light tough places to visit.
After the last few seasons of near-misses, bottle jobs and blockbuster moments, the 2025/26 campaign already feels like it could be a classic.
Can Arsenal finally turn momentum into medals? Will Manchester City dominate yet again? And what about Newcastle, dark horses no more, but real contenders with Champions League expectations? Liverpool’s midfield rebuild is in full swing, Chelsea are on their fourth “fresh start” in two years, and Manchester United are still figuring out exactly what they are under Ten Hag.
Then there’s the players. Haaland is chasing his own records, new signings are about to make their mark, and the next batch of teenage breakout stars are queuing up to go viral.
This isn’t just football, it’s theatre. And there’s no better way to experience it than in a bar full of fans, pints raised, screens glowing, and limbs flying.
From London to Paris to Amsterdam to Barcelona, Belushi’s Bars has got you covered. Experience roaring crowds, drink deals, and big screens, all while never missing a minute of the chaos.
The 2025/26 Premier League runs until Sunday 24 May 2026. That’s nine months of goals, upsets, and unforgettable moments. Wherever you are, don’t miss a minute of it.
