Premier League clubs’ released lists

Premier League clubs from the 2025/26 season have submitted the lists of players they will be releasing from their squads.

Please note, players who will be signified as a “free transfer” or “released” will have their contracts expire on 30 June 2026 but could still remain at that club if a new contract is entered into, so this list should not be seen as definitive for players leaving their club.

Please also note a player’s status may have changed since the lists were submitted.

Within the retain process, any contracted player whose contract expires on 30 June leaves on a “free transfer” if the club did not offer them a contract. For scholars, such players are “released”.
