The PUMA Orbita Ultimate PL, the official match ball for the 2025/26 Premier League season, has been revealed and will make its debut this July during the Premier League Summer Series in the United States.

This marks the first opportunity for a global audience to see the ball in action ahead of its use throughout every fixture in the upcoming campaign, which is set to commence on the weekend of 16 August 2025.

Engineered for performance and consistency, the PUMA Orbita Ultimate PL features 12 uniformly sized panels to ensure precise weight distribution, maintaining perfect balance. The ball’s high-frequency moulded construction enhances durability, while its enlarged and deeper seams are designed to optimise aerodynamics and preserve shape retention.

The new official Premier League match ball is available for purchase at shop.premierleague.com.

‘Have a Ball’ Campaign Launches
The unveiling of the Orbita Ultimate PL coincides with the launch of “Have a Ball”—a new campaign developed through the Premier League’s partnership with PUMA. The initiative encourages players of all levels to play with confidence and embrace the joy that comes from having the ball at their feet.

This long-term collaboration will also bolster grassroots football initiatives. Through Premier League Kicks, the partnership will support youth football programmes across the UK, as well as initiatives focused on women’s and girls’ football, international community engagement, and the league’s No Room For Racism campaign.

Will Brass, Chief Commercial Officer at the Premier League, said:

“The launch of the new ball, which will be seen in play for the first time during the Premier League Summer Series, marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. We are thrilled to welcome PUMA as a key partner in our efforts to enhance the Premier League, both on and off the pitch. We can’t wait to see the ball in action, delivering unforgettable goals and moments for players and fans alike.”

Richard Teyssier, Vice President of Brand and Marketing at PUMA, added:

“By emphasising the emotional and liberating aspects of playing football, the ‘Have a Ball’ campaign highlights how the simple act of just having the ball can bring immense joy and excitement. On average, a professional footballer has control of the ball for around 109 seconds each game—so when you have the ball at your feet, you need to make it count and create moments that matter. We are proud to see some of the world’s best players creating magical moments on the pitch with our new ball. PUMA remains committed to elite performance and innovation, as demonstrated by this exciting new partnership.”

Community Engagement Across the US
To celebrate the launch, the Premier League and PUMA will host a range of community-focused events during the Summer Series. Coaching sessions will be held in each of the three host cities—New Jersey, Chicago, and Atlanta—to promote football development and accessibility at the grassroots level.

Additionally, activations will include in-store events at PUMA’s flagship store in New York City, providing fans with opportunities to engage with the brand and the new ball ahead of the Premier League season.
