We all knew it was coming, but the wait is finally over. The brand-new PUMA Premier League ball for 2025/26 has been revealed. PUMA look to mark history in their first year as ball provider, bringing a fresh, disruptive aesthetic to the topflight of English football. Bring on the season.
The long wait is over. After announcing their takeover as the official ball provider for the Premier League over two months ago, PUMA finally unveil the new suit for the topflight of English football. This ball marks the beginning of a powerful new era, ending Nike’s 25-year long partnership with the Prem. With a mountain of pressure to live up to the foundation that the Swoosh laid, as well as providing both a performance and aesthetics driven design to one of the biggest leagues in the world, PUMA come out the blocks with a bang – bringing the energy with plenty of disruptive visuals.
Officially arriving as the PUMA Orbita 1 Premier League ball, this fresh design explodes with energy. Draped in jagged, electric visuals, the Orbita leads the way for PUMA into hopefully a long, successful partnership with the Prem. Opting for a daring aesthetic, shades of purple and pink stagger across a clean white base – the perfect pops of colour to stand out within the chaos on the pitch.
With such a job like this, it’s important to find the balance of performance and aesthetics – both must be at the highest standard without letting the other drop – and PUMA have not messed around. Engineered for elite play, the ball recruits cutting edge technology blending thermos-bonded panels with high-frequency texturing in order to maximise flight and precision. The Orbita is crafted to withstand the highest performance in all conditions no matter the weather, which is crucial if you know anything about English weather.
Today marks a new beginning and a fresh identity for the league, where performance innovation meets pitch-ready style. The PUMA x Premier League partnership is here, and it is here to stay. They weren’t messing with this one. Next season can’t come soon enough…
