The 2021–22 Premier League is the 30th season of the Premier League, the top English professional league for association football clubs since its establishment in 1992. This is the third season to use the video assistant referee (VAR) review system. The start and end dates for the season were released on 25 March 2021, and the fixtures were released on 16 June 2021.

Manchester City are the defending champions, having won their fifth Premier League title during the previous season.

Teams
Twenty teams will compete in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the Championship. The promoted teams are Norwich City, Watford (who both return to the top flight after a year's absence) and Brentford (who return to the top flight after a seventy-four year absence). This is also Brentford's first season in the Premier League. They replaced Fulham, West Bromwich Albion (both teams relegated after a year back in the top flight) and Sheffield United (relegated after two years back in the top flight).
