PUMA Unveils Premier League Match Ball for the 2025/26 Season
The Premier League is set to embark on a fresh chapter as PUMA takes over as the official match ball supplier for the 2025/26 season. Introducing the Orbita Ultimate PL, a ball designed to inspire brilliance on every pitch. This launch not only marks a significant shift in equipment but also sets the tone for an exciting season ahead.
The Orbita Ultimate PL
After becoming the new Premier League ball-supplier, PUMA wasted no time in making a bold statement with its first official match ball — the Orbita Ultimate PL. Designed to meet the highest standards of professional play, this ball blends cutting-edge engineering with eye-catching aesthetics. It features a modern 12-panel construction, providing better flight stability and consistency across all types of pitches. The 1.2mm 3D-textured PU outer shell enhances aerodynamics and grip, offering improved control in both wet and dry conditions. Inside, a rubber bladder ensures long-lasting shape retention and optimal air pressure, even during high-intensity matches.
Visually, the Orbita Ultimate PL is just as impressive. A crisp white base contrasts with bold brushstrokes in purple, black, and pink — reflecting club rivalries and league energy. The artwork takes cues from the flair of street football and the chaos of match days. PUMA says the design draws inspiration from kit clashes and each club’s unique identity within the Premier League.
To promote the ball, PUMA launched its “Have a Ball” campaign, which champions the fun and expressive side of the game. Whether you’re a Premier League pro or playing five-a-side in the park, the campaign celebrates the shared joy of football. With this ball, PUMA isn’t just setting a standard — it’s inviting the next generation to play with confidence and style. You can grab your own Orbita Ultimate PL now via the official Premier League store.
The New Premier League Season
As the 2025/26 Premier League season approaches, defending champions Liverpool are looking to make it two in a row under manager Arne Slot. Manchester City will challenge them with hunger, while Arsenal push forward ambitiously to reclaim domestic dominance. Meanwhile, the league welcomes newly promoted Leeds United, Burnley, and Sunderland — the latter making its Premier League return after an eight-year absence, reigniting the iconic Tyne-Wear derby. Relegated from last season were Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton. Beyond team movements, this campaign introduces semi-automated offside technology, promising fewer controversial calls and faster decisions. With the introduction of PUMA’s high-performance match ball and a compelling mix of tradition and innovation, the new season is already shaping up to be unforgettable.
