What does the new Premier League ball look like?

Puma is the new official supplier of the Premier League match ball after Nike's contract ended in 2025.

The 2025-26 ball - named Orbita Ultimate PL - was revealed on Tuesday, 3 June.

It has 12 s - which will evenly distribute weight and keep the ball balanced - plus long-lasting durability and deeper seams to improve aerodynamics and shape retention.

"On average, a professional footballer has control of the ball for around 109 seconds every game, so when you have the ball at your feet you need to make it count and create moments that make a difference on the pitch," said Richard Teyssier - Puma marketing vice-president.

Before Nike's 25-year partnership, the first official Premier League ball sponsor was Mitre - from 1992-2000.

The new ball will make its first appearance in July at the Premier League Summer Series in the United States.

Puma also supplies all EFL competitions, Mitre makes the FA Cup ball and Adidas the Champions League.
