At the foot of the table West Ham United, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers were relegated to the Championship, breaking the run where all the previously promoted teams were immediately relegated back down.

Kit Variation by each team
Something that I like to share which is an overview of when each of the new kit looks were first worn, for example… Brentford wore their 3rd Kit, Home Kit and then Away Kit in their first three games
Match 1 to Match 19
Match 20 to Match 38
Overall, this the breakdown of new kit looks worn per Matchweek, with new kit variatons seen in for the first 26 Matchweeks, that week also saw the 100th Kit Look of the season used with Leeds United using their Home Kit with Away Socks at Chelsea. The 100th Kit was used in the 251st Game of the season, quicker than last seasons 292 Games.
Kit Grid
Below is a graphic of what kits where worn against what teams, its one that I share on a weekly basis on my Socials.

Kit Tables
One area I like to look at is a team’s performance in their kit, I have created the below tables (Home, Away and 3rd Kit), all shirt variations are included in each section, e.g. Fulham’s four Home Kit variations are all included in the “Home Kit” Table and based on “Points per Game” used ratio.
Home Kits
No real surprises here, with Arsenal heading up the points per game table, scoring about three quarter of their total points in their Home Kit. Four teams averaged over 2 points per game, Sunderland’s excellent season shows here as they were 5th best team with 1.77 points per game in their Home Kit.
No surprises with Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderes being the bottom two clubs, the only over club under 1 point per game was Tottenham Hotspur, who scored just 21 points this season in their Home Kit.
Away Kits
The Away Kit Table gives us more of surprise, with Chelsea sitting on top wth 2.17 Points per game in their Away Kit, the only to score over 2 and they also scored the most points with 13.
Tottenham Hotspur in second place is a surprise, they ended up wth 1.83 points per game and 11 points in total.
Six teams scored over 10 points in their Away Kits.
Eight teams scored under 1 point per game, with Wolverhampton Wanderers and more surprisingly Brentford who both failed to score a single point this season in their Away Kit.
3rd Kits
The 3rd Kit points per game table gave us Arsenal on top, with 2.14 Points per game and 15 points in their 7 games. Liverpool, Manchester City and Nottingham Forest all managed over 2 points per game.
After Brentford failed to score a single point in their Away Kit, they managed to score 17 points in their 3rd Kit, the highest in the Premier League this season, they did this in 11 games the most worn 3rd Kit as well.
Nine teams scored lower than 1 point per game (another 2 scoring 1.00 exactly), with Burnley and West Ham United failing to score any points at all in their 3rd Kit.
Summary and Highlights
There was a decrease in the number of kits worn this season from last year, with 10x Different Kits used compared to the 113 of 2024 / 25 season, however that does include the use of x kits from next season (Manchester United) compared the three (Arsenal, Aston Villa and Newcastle United) from this time last year!
There were plenty of discussion points through the season with the kits used, some of the highlights for me are the following.
Manchester United finished the season with the most Kit Variatons used, with 11 different kits worn, with four different Home Kit looks, including debuting their 2026/27 Home Kit.
They also wore three different Away Kit looks and only wore the kit in it’s default look (with purple shorts and white socks) just the once.
Their 3rd Kit was worn in all four possible combinatons, with it’s alternative yellow shorts and socks.
Aston Villa folllowed up their 13 Kits worn in 24/25 season by wearing 10 Different Kits this season, this was made up of three Home and three Away Kit variations and they were another team to complete the full set of combinations with their 3rd Kit, with the All White kit being worn in four different looks with it’s alternative purple shorts and socks.
Another team to complete the four kit look was Fulham, however they completed the set with their Home Kit, its all white default look was complemented with black shorts and socks as an alternative look. They completed this set by Matchweek 18, so the quickest to do so.
The single most worn outfield Kit was a tie between three clubs, AFC Bournemouth, Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers who all wore their Home Kit 27 Times.
However the single most worn kit this season was a Goalkeeper Kit, and was the only Kit to be worn over 30 times, Burnleys Green Goalkeeper was worn 31 times in total this season.
Everton gave us the Kit Variaton used the most this season, wearing alternative blue shorts on the road this season in 8 games in total, just under half of their Away games in Premier League this season.
Brighton & Hove Albion’s use of change kits was an interesting one this season, they seemed to favour their 3rd Kit (worn nine times in total) more than their Away Kit (worn just three times). As with tradition with Brighton over the past seasons, their 3rd Kit is the previous season’s Away Kit, so their yellow kit which was the most worn Away Kit last season (14) was worn 23 times across it’s lifespan in the Premier League.
The Away was last worn in Matchweek 16, back on 13th December 2025, it is yet to be confirmed if this will be carried across to next season as the 3rd Kit.
Brighton & Hove Albion also provided one of the two alternative Goalkeeper Kits used this season, wearing the black Nike Goalkeeper template for this season with white socks. The other look was from Newcastle United who wore their Blue Adidas Template also with white socks, however they wore this look three times this season, including on the opening game of the season.
Moving to Newcastle United and their Goalkeeper Kit usage, they were the only Adidas supplied team to mix and match their regular Kits with their Trefoil Goalkeeper Template.
A nice touch using kits was something that Newcastle United introduced this season, they celebrated when players hit milestone appearences for the club, this example shows Fabian Schär making his 250th appearence for the club.
Another Goalkeeper kit usage worth being called out takes us back to the opening weekend of the season, where Tottenham Hotspur’s Goalkeeper(s) wore last season’s Nike Goalkeeper kit (in yellow), it was rumoured that this due this season’s kits not being produced in time for the start of the season.
Arsenal lifted the Premier League Trophy in the final game of the season, however they did change into their classic home kit after playing the game in their 3rd Kit in the game at Crystal Palace.
There we have it…
