All the details as promoted clubs join the Premier League and the league table is reset
The 2026/27 season has officially begun today!
At today’s Premier League’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) the change from 2025/26 to the 2026/27 campaign was formalised.
Following their respective promotions from the EFL Championship, Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City can now officially state that they are part of the Premier League.
What has happened?
The three clubs who were relegated – Wolverhampton Wanderers, Burnley and West Ham United – transferred back the share certificates that gave them Premier League status, and the Premier League Board confirmed the cancellation of these shares.
A new share certificate for each of the promoted clubs was then signed by the Premier League directors and company secretary. As required under company law, the three clubs have been entered into the share register.
As a result, the confirmation of the three promoted clubs as members of the Premier League has taken place, with the League formally welcoming them by awarding them their framed share certificates.
The table refresh
The Premier League table has been reset, with the 20 clubs rearranged in alphabetical order, while the Premier League’s social media accounts now follow those of the three promoted clubs.
All 20 clubs can now look forward to 10:00 BST on Friday 19 June, when they will discover their fixtures for the 2026/27 season, with the opening match round set to start on Saturday 22 August 2026.
