Frequently Asked Questions
When does the 2026/27 Premier League season start, and how long does it run?
Matchday 1 lands in mid-August 2026 and the campaign runs through to May 2027, with a mid-season break built around the expanded international calendar. Nine months of fixtures means a shirt you buy on opening weekend gets a full season of wear.
Which clubs are realistic title contenders in 2026/27?
Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool head the list on squad quality, with Manchester United and Chelsea close behind if their new projects settle early. A three or four-horse race is the likeliest shape of the season.
Which 2026/27 club shirt should I buy first?
Buy the home shirt of the club you will watch most weeks - it is the colourway that stays in the catalogue longest and matches the widest range of casual wear. Add a third shirt later once you know the design has legs.
Do Premier League jerseys come in women's and kids' sizes?
Yes. Most 2026/27 club shirts are stocked in men's, women's and youth cuts, with the women's version shaped at the waist rather than simply scaled down. The size chart on each product page lists chest and length measurements.
Can I add a new signing's name to a 2026/27 shirt?
Yes. Custom name and number printing covers current-season squads, so a marquee arrival can go on the back as soon as the transfer is confirmed and the squad number is published.
How should I care for a printed Premier League shirt?
Wash it inside out on a cold, gentle cycle and hang it to dry away from direct sunlight. Skip the tumble dryer and never iron over the name and number, because heat is what breaks down printed graphics.
