It could be the most open Premier League title race in years as clubs spend big to take advantage

The top five Premier League clubs have collectively invested over £300 million to strengthen squads amid intense competition for the title, league officials reported.

  • As clubs spend big, defending champion Liverpool starts at home on Friday against Bournemouth at Anfield, amid a wide open title race.
  • Last season, Manchester City's defence faltered before Christmas, ending its four-year title run and marking its first trophyless season in eight years.
  • Clubs have continued to spend big under Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, with Viktor Gyokeres' fee could potentially rise to a British record $156 million.
  • With survival at stake, clubs promoted from the Championship have been relegated in the past two seasons, making their Premier League future uncertain.
  • On May 24, 2026, the Premier League season concludes, with no club having defended the title since 1984.
