Premier League 2026/27 Season Preview (1/2) | The EPL Show (EP. 299)
Published 2 days, 22 hours ago
Description
The Premier League returns on August 21st, heightened by a different level of intrigue. For the first time in nearly a decade, Manchester will not have Pep Guardiola, and they will not begin the season as favourites, champions or even as the team everyone else is chasing. Arsenal enter the campaign as the defending champions, for the first time in 22 years, and as 6/4 favourites to retain the crown.
The 2026 World Cup was the first to feature 48 teams across three countries, and the Premier League is already feeling the consequences. A total of 182 players from the EPL represented their nations in North America - and for those who went deep into the tournament, the turnaround to the new season is brutal. With the World Cup final having taken place just 33 days before the opening weekend, the 2026/27 campaign begins in a state of genuine, wide-open uncertainty for English football. In this episode - your first of two Futures betting shows - Billi cross-examines the main contenders in the "Outright Winner" market.
