What should you look out for?
By chief football news reporter Simon Stone
Matches around European games
This will be even more keenly assessed than usual given the four clubs in the Champions League and two in the Europa League will have eight first-phase games rather than six. Long trips before or after European games do not go down well with managers.
Matches around internationals
There are international breaks in September, October, November and March. In Europe, the first three of those are for Nations League fixtures. World Cup qualifiers in Europe start in March 2025, though in South America and Asia they are being played in all four windows.
England managers tend not to be keen on blockbuster league matches immediately before a break and club bosses are equally unhappy at having to play key matches after them when so many players get back on Thursday or Friday.
Festive fixtures
To allow for a mid-August start, there will not be a winter break this season. The Premier League has assured clubs they will not be asked to play twice in less than 60 hours at any point over Christmas and New Year. That rules out any club playing on 26 December also having a game on 28 December. There will be no Christmas Eve fixture in the 2024-25 season.
As the FA Cup third round has been moved from its traditional home on the first weekend of January to the second, it does seem there will be four rounds of fixtures over the festive period - starting on 21 December and ending on 5 January.
New managers
Four Premier League clubs already have new managers - Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), Enzo Maresca (Chelsea), Arne Slot (Liverpool) and Julen Lopetegui (West Ham) - with a fifth to come at Leicester. So that's a new era beginning at 25% of clubs before a ball has been kicked. Russell Martin will take charge of a top-flight game for the first time after Southampton's promotion.

Buy one, sell one, loan one out - your pickspublished at 18:45 13 June

If you could only buy one, sell one, and loan out one player at Tottenham, who would you pick?
That was the question we asked you to answer, with the transfer window set to open on Friday.
Here are some of your thoughts:
Gary: Buy: Dominic Solanke - he looks like a proper number nine and he will help with English quota. Sell: Brennan Johnson - before his value drops too much because he seems more suited to a counter-attacking team rather than a pressing team. Loan: Mikey Moore - to get him battle-hardened.
Connor: Buy: The next Harry Kane to transform our team. Sell: Richarlison - for the £6 we should have paid for him. Loan: Oliver Skipp - permanently to Norwich City.
Brendo: Buy: Eberechi Eze. Sell: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Loan: Richarlison. Spurs need another strong finisher alongside Son, Hojbjerg does not fit the manager’s style and Richarlison needs to regain form.
Paul: Buy: A 20-goals-a-season striker. We probably need more cover at full-back and an experienced holding midfielder to help the development of the younger players too. Sell: Bryan Gil. Loan: Giovani lo Celso.
Herman: Buy: Ivan Toney. Sell: Richarlison -we have to sell more players than one, maybe even seven. Loan: Bryan Gil.
Johna: Buy Alexander Isak. Sell: Yves Bissouma. Loan: Dan Scarlett.

Tanguy Ndombele's time at Tottenham will end when his contract expires on 30 June, the club have confirmed.
Signed by Mauricio Pochettino for a club record £53.8m in summer 2019, Ndombele made 91 appearances for Spurs before falling out of favour and spending time on loan at Lyon, Napoli and Galatasaray.
The 27 year old scored 10 times and provided nine assists during his five years at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
'He's impressed everyone'published at 13:14 11 June

Former Tottenham captain Ledley King says he has been "shocked" by how well Micky van de Ven performed in his first season at Tottenham.
The 23-year-old defender joined Spurs last summer from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.
He formed a strong partnership at the back alongside Cristian Romero before picking up an injury against Chelsea in November that kept him out until the new year.
Van de Ven went on to make 27 starts in the Premier League and 29 appearances in all competitions and has since been included in the Netherlands squad heading to Germany for Euro 2024.
"If I'm honest, he's shocked me," King said at a club event.
"There are not many times you get a young, left-footed, centre-half who is rapid, and you don't know too much about him.
"For him to be here and to be of the quality he is, it's really impressive. He's impressed everyone, he's been fantastic... scoring goals as well as well as defending - I love everything about him.
"I don't expect to see anyone outrun him any time soon. I can't see anyone beating him at the moment. His pace... I think he could run in the 100-metre final, and he wouldn't finish last! That's how fast he is."

What is Spurs' summer priority?published at 12:37 7 June
12:37 7 June
We asked for your views on what Tottenham's priorities should be as we head into the summer.
Here are some of your suggestions:
James: Sell Richarlison. Buy a proper striker.
Austen: With Maddison's injury during the season, it exposed the lack of creativity in midfield. Controversially I would ideally shift Son on, whilst he has value, and replace with younger legs. I thought he looked very jaded towards the end of the season.
Tom: Spurs need to sign someone who has a better end product, Werner is not going to fit the bill alone.
John: Massive clearout of under performing players; Richarlson, Spence, Emerson Royal, Rodon, Skipp, Hojbjerg,
Harry: First order of business should be to sign a new winger who has the potential to be an heir to Son's position. My preference would be Eberechi Eze from Palace.

The 2023-24 Premier League season may have only just finished but there is only 10 weeks until the 2024-25 season is scheduled to start.
So what are the key dates that you need to know?
When does the season start and finish?
The 2024-25 Premier League campaign will get under way during the weekend of 17-18 August.
It will take place over 33 weekends, with four midweek rounds and one Bank Holiday matchweek.
To allow for a mid-August start, there will not be a 'winter break' this time around. However, to avoid Christmas and New Year fixture congestion, the league will give more rest time to sides over three of the festive match rounds, with no club playing within 60 hours of another match.
The final round of fixtures will be played on Sunday, 25 May 2025, with all games to kick off at the same time.
When are the fixtures released?
09:00 BST on Tuesday, 18 June.
We will have all the details here for your club as soon as the fixtures are released.
The summer window will officially open on Friday, 14 June, which also happens to be the start of Euro 2024, and will remain open until Friday, 30 August at 23:00 BST.
Transfer deadline day has been brought forward this year to be in line with the other major leagues in Europe. The closing dates were set following discussions with the leagues in England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France.

'No one is feeling bitter about being left out'published at 08:56 7 June

Declan Rice said it was "not a nice feeling" to see close friends such as James Maddison and Jack Grealish miss out on selection for England's Euro 2024 squad - but added that no player has been "bitter" about being left out of Gareth Southgate's 26-man group.
While Arsenal midfielder Rice has been included, Tottenham's Maddison and Manchester City's Grealish were among those told that they would not be heading to Germany.
"It has been really tough," said Rice. "Madders and Jack are probably two of my best mates in the squad. I have probably spent most of my time with them since I have been here. To see them go is not a nice feeling.
"They both said before they went - Madders on Wednesday night and Jack [on Thursday] - that they wish us all of the best. They were really positive and upbeat.
"Obviously they are gutted that they have been left out of the squad, but I think that's one thing that Gareth [Southgate] has got spot on. We are so close as a group and there is no one that is feeling really bitter about being left out. It is more about the team and those guys wished us all the best, as did all of the others.
"I'm obviously gutted, but in football it is just one of those things. Managers have tough decisions to make and that is part of the role that comes with it. So I'm gutted that they have gone, but they have been really supportive of what we are about to do."
We asked for your thoughts on James Maddison being left out of England's Euro 2024 squad.
Here are some of your responses:
James: Maddison is one of the most creative players England have at the moment, which was demonstrated at the start of the season. His form has tailed off admittedly yet he is on the up again and offers something different in that pocket behind the striker. He should be in the squad. Maddison is also an excellent free-kick and corner taker.
Mark: Season ticket holder at Spurs and this is the right decision. Maddison hasn't played well since his injury and needs proper time to recover. Other players are miles ahead of him in that position - Eze, Palmer, Gordon all competing as understudies. Hopefully this rejection gives Madders the incentive to get back to his best form.
David: The worrying thing about Maddison being cut is the timing. Why single him out like this?
Graham: Maddison had a great start to the season, but the lengthy injury layoff seemed to dent his confidence and he wasn't quite as good for the remainder of the season. It was great to make the provisional squad, but I think his omission from the final squad is the right decision.
Adam: When England have 10 minutes left in a game and need a goal, he's a great option to bring on - a bit of imagination and guile to unlock a packed defence, there's not many players better than him for that. I think we'll miss him.
Peter: As a Spurs fan this is the right decision. Playing for Spurs, he is in a perfect role. There are many better players within the England squad. He hasn't been his natural self since returning from injury. The lay-off will do him some good. England have to take the best 26 players that are fit and in form.
'Devastated doesn't quite cut it'published at 14:02 6 June

Tottenham midfielder James Maddison says he is "devastated" not to make the England squad for Euro 2024.
The 27-year-old was included in Gareth Southgate's preliminary squad but has not been included in the final 26 that will head to Germany later this month.
Maddison was in good form at the beginning of the season after joining from Leicester last summer, but a lengthy spell out injured halted that momentum and he struggled to return to his previous levels in the second half of the campaign.
Posting on X, external after the news of his omission emerged, he said: "Devastated doesn't quite cut it. Trained well and worked hard all week but if I'm honest with myself, my form for Spurs when coming back from injury in the second half of the season probably wasn't at the levels I had set which gave Gareth a decision to make.
"I still thought there would be a space for me in a 26-man squad as I feel I bring something different and had been a mainstay in this whole qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 in Germany, but the manager has made the decision and I have to respect that.
"I'll be back, I have no doubt. Wishing the boys all the luck in the world out in Germany, unbelievable group and lads that I literally call some of my best friends. I genuinely hope football comes home."
