The 2025/26 PFA Premier League Team of the Year was announced on Tuesday, August 25, at the Manchester Opera House, showcasing the dominance of Arsenal and Manchester City, who collectively filled nine of the eleven positions in the player-voted lineup. Arsenal featured five players: David Raya as goalkeeper, and defenders Gabriel Magalhães, William Saliba, and Jurriën Timber, along with midfielder Declan Rice.
Manchester City matched this with four players: Nico O’Reilly, Rayan Cherki, Erling Haaland, and Antoine Semenyo. O’Reilly also won the PFA Men’s Young Player of the Year award.
The only players from outside these two clubs to make the team were Manchester United's captain Bruno Fernandes, who won the PFA Men’s Players’ Player of the Year award, and Brentford's striker Igor Thiago, recognized for his impressive goalscoring campaign. This selection reflects the significant impact both clubs had during the season.
