The Premier League has approved a sweeping overhaul of its financial regulations, voting to ban clubs from selling assets to related parties and introducing a new Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) model

The Premier League has announced the start and end dates for the 2026-27 season. The first round of fixtures will take place across the weekend of 22 August 2026 - a week later than previous seasons. The later start allows rest time for players - 89 clear days from the end of this season, and 33 days from the 2026 World Cup final.

The clubs voted to introduce the squad cost ratio but not top to bottom anchoring at a meeting in London on Friday.
