The Premier League campaign of 2025/26 is approaching quickly and novelties happen when it comes to the official competition ball.
For 25 years, Nike has been the sponsors of the ball in the English top flight and produced some of the most iconic and synonymous designs.
However, that will now change with PUMA that becomes the new ball manufacturer of the competition.
Which ball is used for the Premier League season 2025/26?
Puma's Orbita Ultimate PL will be the official competition ball used in the Premier League season 2025/26.
According to the manufacturer, the ball will have 12 panels evenly size to ensure that the weight is the same.
It is also said that it is more durable because of deeper seams that improve aerodynamics and the preservation of its form.
Puma is also the manufacturer of the La Liga and Series A competition ball, while she also supplies the Puma Orbita 1 in last season's EFL Cup.
The ball was used for the first time during the Premier League pre-season event in the United States.
What is Puma's 'Have A Ball' campaign?
Puma's partnership with the Premier League also sees that the 'Have a Ball' campaign is starting, a support vehicle for basic football.
The campaign will work through Premier League stairs, while women's football, the international community and the No Room for Racism Initiative help.
Richard Teyssier, vice -president of brand and marketing at PUMA, said: “By emphasizing the emotional and liberating aspects of playing football, the campaign 'Have a ball' emphasizes how the simple act of having the ball can bring enormous joy and excitement.
“On average, a professional football player has about 109 seconds control over the ball every match, so if you have the ball at your feet, you have to have it count and create moments that make a difference on the field.
“We are proud that some of the best players in the world create magical moments on the field with the help of the new ball.
“Puma strives for elite performance and product, something clear as a result of our new partnership.”
