The 2008–09 Premier League season (known as the Barclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons) will be the seventeenth since its establishment in 1992. Manchester United are the defending champions, having won their tenth Premier League title on the final day of the previous season. The campaign – the fixtures for which were announced on 16 June – began on Saturday 16 August 2008, [cite news |title=2008/09 fixtures announced |url=http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~1328838,00.html |publisher=Premier League |date=2008-06-16 |accessdate=2008-06-16 ] and is scheduled to end on 24 May 2009. A total of 20 teams will contest the league, including 17 who competed the previous season and three promoted from the Football League Championship.

Starting with this season, clubs are now allowed to name seven substitutes on the bench instead of five.

This is because the FA Cup Third Round is traditionally played on the first Saturday in January, which in 2009 will fall in the usual spot for New Year's league games.
