The dust is still settling on the 2025-26 Premier League season.
Arsenal were crowned champions for the first time since 2003-04, while West Ham, Burnley and Wolves suffered relegation to the Championship.
Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool all secured qualification for next season’s Champions League, while Bournemouth (UEL), Sunderland (UEL) and Brentford (UECL) will also be playing European football in 2026-27.
Next term promises to be just as good as its predecessor, and even though the 2026 World Cup is fast approaching to take over the sporting landscape, the latest outright Premier League odds are already up on NetBet Sport.
Let’s take a look at how things are shaping up ahead of the season’s start on August 22…
*All odds are subject to change
Who are the favourites to win the 2026-27 Premier League title?
Arsenal – 2.50
Manchester City – 3.50
Liverpool – 6.50
Manchester United – 7.00
Chelsea – 11.00
Aston Villa – 26.00
Newcastle – 41.00
Tottenham – 51.00
Brighton – 151.00
Bournemouth – 201.00
It is no surprise to see Arsenal listed as the favourites to retain their crown, given the strength of Mikel Arteta’s squad.
Even without the departed Pep Guardiola, City still take second spot on the list, ahead of Liverpool and a resurgent United.
Despite finishing 17th and narrowly avoiding relegation in 2025-26, Spurs currently sit eighth, which is clear evidence of the Roberto De Zerbi factor.
Who are the favourites to finish in the 2026-27 Premier League top four?
Arsenal – 1.13
Manchester City – 1.29
Liverpool – 1.44
Manchester United – 1.50
Chelsea – 2.10
Aston Villa – 2.50
Newcastle – 8.00
Tottenham – 9.00
Brighton – 13.00
Bournemouth – 21.00
It is not even worth considering a bet on Arsenal or City to finish in the top four, as the odds are just so short.
Liverpool’s low price is a tad strange after their fifth-place finish in 2024-25, while Chelsea need something special from new boss Xabi Alonso to live up to their pre-season odds.
With no European football to contend with, Newcastle and Spurs could be shrewd picks in this market.
Lest we forget, United secured a third-place finish in 2025-26 without the distraction of continental football.
Who are the favourites to be relegated in the 2026-27 Premier League season?
Hull – 1.30
Coventry – 1.62
Ipswich – 1.67
Sunderland – 3.00
Leeds – 6.50
Crystal Palace – 6.50
Fulham – 6.50
Nottingham Forest – 7.00
Brentford – 8.00
Everton – 10.00
Unsurprisingly, the three promoted clubs are hot favourites for the drop. Play-off winners Hull are already being touted as potential replicants of Derby’s infamous 2007-08 season, in which the Rams collected just 11 points.
Sunderland being fourth favourites for relegation seems a tad bizarre, though.
As previously mentioned, Regis Le Bris’ side qualified for the Europa League and boast some serious talent in the ranks, including Granit Xhaka.
The only explanation can be the doubts over whether the Black Cats’ squad is able to cope with the additional workload from European fixtures – an issue which a few Premier League teams have fallen foul of in the past.
Crystal Palace (15th) and Nottingham Forest’s (16th) 2025-26 seasons are great evidence of that fact!
