While fans might hold off on the excitement until the European Championship concludes on July 14, there are already some significant changes announced for the world's most-watched league. Top of the list is the introduction of new technology aimed at speeding up tight offside calls, alongside hoped-for improvements to the video assistant referee (VAR) system.
Additionally, the winter break has been scrapped once more, and there's an adjustment to the deadline for teams to submit their starting line-ups.
Here's a breakdown of what's new ahead of the new season.
Semi-automated offsides
A feature already seen in European competitions, semi-automated offsides will be a fresh addition to the Premier League after one of the autumn international breaks - though the exact date for its use has not been announced.
The Premier League explains that this technology "will provide quicker and consistent placement of the virtual offside line, based on optical player tracking." However, scepticism will likely persist among those who have witnessed the complications brought about by VAR.
Six VAR improvements
The Premier League have already confirmed six changes will be introduced come August, even though they appear open to interpretation.
No winter break
In a shift from previous seasons, there will be no winter break. Clubs won't have a week off in January, as was the case when only five games were played on consecutive weekends.
The season will kick off a week later than usual, on August 17, to allow players additional rest this summer.
Seventy-five is the new hour
Finally, team announcements will now be made 75 minutes before kick-off, aligning with UEFA competition standards, changing the pre-match ritual for fans eager to see their team's line-up.
