LONDON — Arsenal got their Premier League campaign underway with a 3-0 win at promoted Fulham thanks to goals from Alexandre Lacazette, new signing Gabriel and captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the opening game of the season on Saturday.
Newcomers Gabriel and Willian enjoyed fine debuts for the Gunners, who made light work of their short trip across London to Craven Cottage and dominated against a toothless Fulham.
American football is one of the most watched sports in the United States, but domestic soccer — the world’s football — usually falls by the wayside.
Out of all the soccer leagues across the pond, the English Premier League is the most popular in the U.S., while the NFL is facing a somewhat uncertain time.
The 2019-20 season, like all things in 2020, proved to be different. Viewership for both of these professional leagues was turned on its head. So what is the average EPL vs. NFL viewership?
It’s time. Our annual English Premier League preview arrives a month later than usual, but the world’s most popular competition is back with the 2020-21 season beginning this weekend.
It all begins with Arsenal visiting newly promoted Fulham on Saturday morning, and the action continues with defending champion Liverpool welcoming Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United to Anfield later in the day. You’ll also want to tune in on Sunday as José Mourinho’s Tottenham gets the first glimpse of new Everton signing James Rodríguez at Hotspur Stadium.
With each kit released for the 2020-21 season, I find myself shaking my head; it has become abundantly clear that kit designers have simply run out of ideas.
The Premier League is back, sooner than ever. And with the Covid-19 pandemic still raging across the U.S., more fans will be watching from home instead of crowding into pubs, taverns and bars. More than ever, you’ll want to read our annual Premier League TV guide for how to watch and stream the EPL in the U.S.
The Premier League said on Thursday that players and match officials will wear a "No Room For Racism" badge on their shirts for the entirety of the 2020-21 season, replacing the "Black Lives Matter" logo that previously appeared on kits.
The "Black Lives Matter" logo appeared on kits for all the games following the COVID-19 break last season and the league said it will support players who 'take a knee' at matches to highlight racial injustice.

The stars of the Premier League receive handsome compensation for their work on the pitch to entertain the masses. These stars will also never go hungry with their ridiculous weekly salaries. This list of the highest paid EPL players solely focuses on weekly wages and doesn’t include endorsement deals, bonuses and other payments.

Last year, Liverpool had the Premier League title all but clinched during the second half of the season, which meant that much of the focus landed on the lower reaches of the table. The battle against relegation went down to the final kick of the season, as an Aston Villa draw against West Ham ensured that Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City were relegated.
On Wednesday it was reported that Christian Pulisic will have the honor of donning the No. 10 jersey for Chelsea next season. Pulisic will trade in his No. 22 jersey and fill the shirt of Willian, who joined Arsenal earlier this summer. Ironically enough, Willian wore the No. 22 for six seasons until he was honored with the iconic number in his final season.
