The 2025–26 Premier League season begins on Friday, Aug. 15, with defending champions Liverpool taking on Bournemouth—with it comes new rules introduced by the International Football Associationg Board regarding the Laws of the Game.
Nothing is quite as frustrating as a fan when you see your team penalised for something that you weren’t aware of. As an example last year, changes to delaying the restart of a game were heavily enforced as the Premier League sought to delay the action during fouls. Kicking the ball away inadvertently or out of frustration could result in a first, or costly second yellow card and subsequent sending off.
As such, make sure you’re up to date with the new rules and changes coming to England’s top flight league this season. Among them are important changes to goalkeepers and penalties.
