The return of the Premier League has brought a wider range of futures markets to Hard Rock Bet, with the 2026/27 campaign offering betting options covering the title race, player awards, team finishing positions, season points and relegation.
The new season began on Friday, August 21, with reigning champions Arsenal beating newly promoted Coventry City 3-0 at Emirates Stadium. Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard scored as Mikel Arteta’s side made a strong start to their title defence.
Hard Rock Bet’s Premier League futures markets extend beyond the outright championship, giving users options based on how teams and individual players perform across the 38-game campaign. The markets were highlighted ahead of the season opener and remain part of the sportsbook’s wider Premier League offering.
Premier League title market leads futures offering
The Premier League winner market remains one of the main futures options, with Arsenal entering the campaign as the defending champions and pre-season favourite.
Hard Rock Bet listed Arsenal at +150 before the season, followed by Manchester City at +350, Liverpool at +500, Manchester United at +700 and Chelsea at +800. The prices are subject to change as the season progresses.
The market reflects a season of significant change among several leading clubs. Manchester City are beginning the post-Pep Guardiola era, while Manchester United and Chelsea also entered the campaign with new managers compared with the previous season.
Arsenal’s opening victory over Coventry has already given the champions three points towards their defence of the title, although the Premier League season runs until May 30, 2027.
Player futures cover goals and assists
Individual player markets form another major part of the new Premier League futures selection.
The Golden Boot market allows users to select the player they expect to finish the season as the league’s leading scorer, while assist markets focus on the competition’s leading creators. Players such as Erling Haaland, Bukayo Saka and Bruno Fernandes are among the names featured in the futures coverage.
Hard Rock Bet also offers goal milestone markets for selected players. These allow users to take positions on whether a player reaches specified season totals, with examples including Haaland scoring at least 22, 24 or 26 goals.
Player assist totals are available through over-and-under markets, while other individual awards include the PFA Player of the Year and Golden Glove.
The Golden Glove market is based on the goalkeeper who finishes the campaign with the most clean sheets.
Team finishing positions and points totals
The futures selection also provides several ways to assess a club’s expected position without selecting it to win the title.
Teams can be backed to finish in the top two, top four, top five, top six or top 10. This creates markets around European qualification and other positions across the league table.
Season points totals offer another option. Before the campaign began, Hard Rock Bet listed Arsenal’s line at 77.5 points, Manchester City’s at 75.5, Liverpool’s at 70.5, Manchester United’s at 69.5 and Chelsea’s at 68.5.
At the other end of the table, Hull City’s total was set at 24.5 points, with Ipswich Town at 33.5 and Coventry City at 34.5. Such lines are adjusted according to the sportsbook’s current market and can change during the season.
The opening weekend provided an immediate test of some of those expectations. Arsenal defeated Coventry 3-0, while newly promoted Hull City produced one of the weekend’s biggest surprises by beating Manchester United 2-0.
Relegation markets add another layer
The fight to avoid relegation also has its own futures markets.
Users can select which clubs they expect to be relegated at the end of the campaign, while a separate market covers the team that finishes bottom of the table. Before the season began, Hull City was listed as the favourite to finish 20th at -120.
With promoted sides Coventry, Hull and Ipswich returning to the Premier League, the relegation battle is expected to be one of the season’s major storylines. Coventry’s opening defeat at Arsenal under Frank Lampard was a difficult introduction to top-flight football after a 25-year absence, although the result represents only one match of a 38-game campaign.
Premier League futures now cover a broad range of outcomes
The expansion of futures markets means the Premier League offering is not limited to predicting the eventual champion. Team positions, season points, relegation, individual goals, assists and end-of-season awards are all covered.
The 2026/27 Premier League campaign is scheduled to run from August 21, 2026, to May 30, 2027, with 380 fixtures across the season.
As the campaign develops, the futures markets will be influenced by results, injuries, player form and changes in the league table. Prices can therefore move substantially from their pre-season levels, making the original lines a snapshot of expectations rather than a prediction of how the season will ultimately finish.
