19:14 BST 16 June
No sooner does the season finish and we start looking forward to key dates for the next campaign - and that will be a lot easier to do on Wednesday when the Premier League fixtures are released.
That's right, that special day in the calendar is almost here already. The day when you'll learn details of derby fixtures, Christmas opponents and end-of-season run-ins.
This page will bring you all the fixtures when they drop at 09:00 BST on Wednesday and we'll be giving you the chance to have your say on how things look.
The new campaign kicks off on the weekend of Saturday, 16 August and it will conclude on Sunday, 24 May 2026, when all 10 games will take place at the same time.
'I felt the club's confidence in me' - Truffert on joining Bournemouthpublished at 12:21 BST 16 June

New Bournemouth signing Adrien Truffert says he is "looking forward to testing myself" after completing his move from Rennes.
The 23-year-old left-back has signed on a five-year contract for £11.4m, with £3m in bonuses and add-ons.
Truffert made his debut for Rennes in September 2020 and went on to make 212 appearances and was named club captain last year.
"I'm really happy and proud," he told Cherries club media.
"It's a great opportunity for me to keep progressing and to be part of an ambitious project. I felt the club's confidence in me from the first discussions, and I'm excited to get started.
"It's a dream for any player to play in the Premier League. It's one of the best and most competitive leagues in the world. I'm looking forward to testing myself at this level, facing top players every week, and helping the team achieve great things."
With strong interest from Liverpool in current left-back Milos Kerkez, France international Truffert could end up being the direct replacement in that position.
Cherries president of football operations Tiago Pinto added: "Adrien is a player we've admired for some time and he brings significant experience to the squad despite still being just 23 years of age.
"We're excited to work with Adrien and are thrilled to have a player of such quality join us as we look to build on a record-breaking season for the club."

Following the release of a behind-the-scenes documentary focused on the Bournemouth academy, Cherries academy manager Sam Gisborne spoke to BBC Radio Solent about the youth setup at the club: "It's in a really good spot. Last season was our second season as a category two academy and we want to get to a point where we are a category one academy.
"Our mission is 'affect the 25' where every year we want to be affecting the 25-man squad that is involved in the Premier League. Our long-term vision is to develop our first team-captains.
"There is no standing still in the academy - we are in a really good spot but we still have a long way to go."
'I look back with fondness' - Daniels on Cherries careerpublished at 14:36 BST 11 June

Former Bournemouth defender Charlie Daniels has said it was "special" to be part of the era during which the Cherries were promoted through the Football League to England's top tier.
The 38-year-old made 265 appearances throughout his time in red and black, scoring 17 times and registering 26 assists, and is now a coach with Championship side Watford's under-21s team.
In his playing career, he joined Eddie Howe's Bournemouth when they were in League One, and ended up staying with them as they went up the divisions to the Premier League.
"I look back with great fondness," Daniels told BBC Sport. "It was definitely the most successful part of my career.
"I joined when the goal was to make it to the Championship and I wanted to be a part of it.
"To be on that journey, and get to the Premier League, was so special. It is something that will be with me forever and it is special for me to be a part of that history."
Daniels moved to Bournemouth from Leyton Orient in 2011, before leaving in 2020 to join Shrewsbury Town.
In the 2024-25 season, Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth achieved the club's highest Premier League points total. They ultimately missed out on Europe but finished ninth with 56 points, scoring 58 goals and winning 15 games.
Daniels was impressed with the team producing good football "against the odds" and "playing with freedom in the style that it is the Bournemouth way".
He added: "Those are the foundations in place at the club.
"For me, it's also the off the pitch stuff that is exciting: the training ground being finished and the plans in place for the stadium redevelopment.
"Under the new ownership, Bill Foley is determined to do everything in his power to achieve his goal."

Bournemouth have confirmed their pre-season schedule for the 2025-26 campaign.
The Cherries will play six friendlies in the build-up to the new campaign, beginning with two behind-closed-doors fixtures against Scottish Premiership side Hibernian and Bristol City of the Championship.
The Premier League's Summer Series in the United States will then follow, with games against Everton on 26 July, Manchester United on 30 July and West Ham United on 3 August.
Andoni Iraola's team will then finish off their preparations by hosting Real Sociedad at Vitality Stadium on 9 August at 17:15 BST.
Nevin picks out the best deals so farpublished at 10:05 BST 10 June

The mini transfer window has been interesting with some intriguing stories.
Matheus Cunha to Manchester United seems to make some sense, certainly more that many of their transfer deals in the past few years. At least Cunha has proved he can do it in the Premier League.
Liam Delap had his pick of a few clubs because of his affordable £30 million buyout fee. Well done to the agent who got that written into his contract. Trent Alexander-Arnold is older but still big news. However, I do not think he is the most important deal done in this window thus far.
There was not too much fanfare following Dean Huijsen's £50million move from Bournemouth to Real Madrid but it is hard to imagine any other transferred player having the same long-term impact.
Liverpool might have been tempted by him as the eventual replacement for Virgil van Dijk, but then Huijsen was unlikely to turn down Real, having already elected to represent Spain over his birth nation, the Netherlands.
The 20-year-old is a class act. It is very unusual for such a young centre-back to be so assured and mature. My suspicion has always been that he will be an enduring world star if he steers clear of major injuries.
Trent grabbed much more attention in the short term, but Dean is more likely to be the long-term superstar Galactico in Madrid.

Today is the first of two transfer deadline days this summer as the window shuts for seven days before reopening on 16 June.
In a change to the summer transfer window norm, it opened early to allow clubs involved in the Fifa Club World Cup 10 days to sign players for inclusion in the competition.
Whether it turns out to be a day of transfer action or a pretty quiet one for your club, you will be able to keep across it all on BBC Sport.

🎧 Rise of American ownership in English footballpublished at 11:07 BST 9 June
11:07 BST 9 June
It is not just at the top of the Premier League where American ownership has a foothold in English football.
Twenty years on from the Glazer takeover of Manchester United, one third of the 72 EFL clubs now have either majority or minority US backers.
In a special episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Kelly Cates is joined by a group of experts to investigate whether this trend is likely to continue.

On Tuesday, the first of two summer transfer windows will come to a close.
So, do you expect business to be done at Bournemouth before the deadline? Do you want players to come in or exit? If so, what or who do you think is needed?
Frank emerges as candidate - who else is in Spurs frame?published at 18:53 BST 6 June

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has emerged as Tottenham's leading candidate to replace Ange Postecoglou as manager.
Multiple sources have told BBC Sport that Spurs are strongly interested in Frank and that initial work has been already been undertaken to enquire about his availability.
Frank has a good relationship with Spurs technical director and fellow Dane Johan Lange, which could be a deciding factor when club chairman Daniel Levy comes to decide who he appoints.
But the likes of Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner and Fulham's Marco Silva are among others understood to be in the frame.
And Tottenham have even given consideration to reappointing former manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is currently in charge of the United States.
What if... the season came down to how well you pass the ball?published at 08:04 BST 6 June

Nicola Pearson BBC Sport journalist
As the dust settles on the 2024-25 Premier League season, we have been taking a look at some of the alternative ways the the table could have finished...
Passing in football has become an obsession.
The tiki-taka style of Barcelona has now become the basis of managerial philosophies across the leagues and lands of Europe and beyond.
The problem is, few teams have the ability to execute it at the level required to make it effective.
Pep Guardiola took it to another level when he was in charge of the La Liga giants and it has served his Manchester City side well since he took charge in 2016 having won 18 trophies in the following nine years.
And, if the Premier League season had come down to how well teams pass the ball, unsurprisingly the eight-time champions would have been celebrating a ninth title.
With nearly 90% accuracy, they rarely put a foot - or pass - wrong.
And yet, in reality, it did not translate to success on the pitch this year.
Whether it was teams finally finding the chinks in the passing-machine armour or the side's misplaced passes proving more costly than in previous seasons without key players, City could not take advantage of their dominance with the ball.
And for one of the most acute examples of ability with the ball not translating to on-the-pitch success, we only have to look at Southampton.
The Saints at one point looked set to break Derby County's record for the least amount of points in a Premier League campaign, and yet they were less than 1% behind actual league champions Liverpool when it came to passing accuracy.
While fans could have some appreciation for watching nice football, they might have appreciated some scrappy displays that resulted in hard-fought results and possible safety more.
In contrast, Crystal Palace had the least accurate passing of any team in the league.
And yet, Oliver Glasner's side ultimately finished 12th - just three points off a top-half finish - and won the FA Cup final against the club with the best passing ability of them all.
They are not the only team to have had successful seasons in their own right while being in the bottom six for passing accuracy.
Nottingham Forest were 19th in this table metric, but in reality were fighting for Champions League places.
Bournemouth and Brentford also battled for possible European spots into the final weeks of the season, and even Everton finished the campaign comfortably away from relegation that at one point they looked set to be in a battle to escape.
So what does this tell us? When it comes to winning football matches, passing the ball well is not the be-all and end-all.

'A busy summer transfer window and a major conundrum in between the sticks'published at 12:10 BST 3 June

I definitely predict a busy summer transfer window for Bournemouth.
It started early for the Cherries in regards to departures when giants Real Madrid activated Dean Huijsen's release clause. One mightily impressive season from the young centre-back was enough for Madrid to pay out a £50m fee, so does he now need replacing?
In Illia Zabarnyi and Marcos Senesi, Bournemouth have two reliable centre-back options, but with Chris Mepham set to depart, another young centre-half may well be required. I anticipate bids to be made for the promising Nantes defender Nathan Zeze, who has been heavily linked.
Another departure is anticipated imminently, with left-back Milos Kerkez expected to sign for Liverpool.
While Bournemouth did recruit in that position in January by signing Julio Soler, another option will almost certainly be needed. I'd therefore be tempted to see if Real Madrid would allow their back-up left-back Fran Garcia to come to the south coast, having previously worked with Andoni Iraola at Rayo Vallecano.
A major conundrum is in between the sticks for the Cherries...
Last season, Kepa Arrizabalaga was impressive, but he was only on a season-long loan from Chelsea. Meanwhile, Neto was out on loan as cover for Arsenal, Mark Travers had a good loan spell with Middlesbrough and hot prospect Alex Paulsen spent the season with Auckland.
It is difficult to know what route the club will take, but I fully expect them to try to secure the services of Kepa on a permanent basis.
I would imagine both Neto and Travers will leave, and in turn that may allow Alex Paulsen to return as the club's number two.
What can Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton spend this summer?published at 14:03 BST 2 June

Bournemouth have the lowest matchday revenue in the Premier League, with a 11,379 capacity at the Vitality Stadium.
Yet they have recruited shrewdly and the big-money sales of Dominic Solanke and Dean Huijsen during 2024-25 means they could easily part with £100m to bring in new signings.
Brentford are among the best run businesses in the league and their approach of "spotting players that other clubs have not considered, such as Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, is likely to pay further dividends as they are attracting attention from clubs with big budgets", said football finance expert Kieran Maguire.
"The Bees have no PSR concerns and could spend up to £200m, but are unlikely to break the bank for the sake of it as this is not the way that owner Matthew Benham conducts affairs at the club."
Meanwhile, another club on the south coast, Brighton, are also in rude health heading into the next transfer window.
The Seagulls have earned £200m in profit over the previous two seasons and could repeat last summer's heavy spend of more than £200m if necessary.
However, chief executive Paul Barber has already indicated they will more likely return to their tried and tested model of bringing in relatively unheard of players from unfamiliar markets.
Brighton's biggest challenge is more likely to be keeping hold of the likes of Joao Pedro, Carlos Baleba and Kaoru Mitoma, who are all attracting admiring glances from clubs with bigger budgets.
