Key dates and Premier League stages

16 August - Community Shield

Before the season starts, the Premier League champions Arsenal will face the winners of the FA Cup, Manchester City, in the Community Shield match at the Millennium Stadium on 16 August.

21 August - Season opener

The 2026/27 Premier League season gets underway on 21 August as defending champions Arsenal face Coventry City. The remaining opening fixtures for the first game week are held on 22, 23 and 24 August.

15 June - 1 September - Summer transfer window

The Premier League summer transfer window, which allows teams to buy, sell and loan players between other clubs, slams shut on 1 September. Premier League teams have already spent more than $2.25 billion on transfer fees this window.

Winter period

Unlike most other European leagues, the Premier League doesn’t have a winter break. This means a congested schedule, but the rules mean that no team plays twice within 60 hours.

1 January - 1 February - January transfer window

The Premier League’s mid-season transfer window lasts for a month, closing at the start of February. As with the summer window, it gives teams a chance to buy and sell players or complete loan deals.

30 May - Final day of the season

In May, the final game week is played, with all 10 matches kicking off at the same time. This takes place on a Sunday and often sees drama as teams battle for their place in the Premier League standings.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are the current reigning champions and have a total of 14 Premier League titles, while Chelsea have 6.

How to bet on the Premier League at Stake

1. Log in to your account or sign up if you haven’t already.

2. Check you have enough funds in your Stake wallet, and make a deposit if not. Check our local currency payment guide and cryptocurrency betting guide for more information.

Premier League betting strategies

1. Make the most of our guides and Premier League predictions. Before betting on the EPL, we recommend familiarising yourself with the league and the strengths and weaknesses of each team. We also have a soccer betting guide and share our expert opinions and analysis on our EPL predictions blog.

2. Recent form matters, including differences between home and away results. One team might look better on paper, but if they are in the middle of a slump, backing them would be unwise. Also consider the form of individual players, particularly those who are usually a key part of the team.

3. With such a crowded schedule, rest is more important than ever. Teams that have played midweek against European competition might be at a disadvantage against a fully rested Premier League team. Look at squad depth and what changes could be made that could impact the soccer odds.

4. Injuries play a key role in games, especially if a team is missing an important player like their top scorer. Check team news to see if any key players are missing, and adjust your strategy accordingly to get the best match odds.

5. The tactical style of each team and manager should be considered when you’re looking at EPL betting options. Certain teams match up better against other teams based on how they play. Looking at the head-to-head history between teams, as well as the head-to-head history of their managers, can offer key insights.
