Teams
Twenty teams competed in the league - the top seventeen teams from the previous season, as well as the three teams promoted from the Championship. The promoted teams were Burnley, Middlesbrough and play-off winners Hull City, who replaced Aston Villa, Norwich City and Newcastle United.
Stadia and locations
West Ham United played for the first time at the London Stadium, formerly known as the Olympic Stadium. Although having a capacity of 60,010, for the first Premier League game this was limited to 57,000 due to safety fears following persistent standing by fans at West Ham's Europa League game played in early August.
Stoke City announced that from the 2016-17 season the Britannia Stadium would be renamed to the bet365 Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur played at White Hart Lane with a reduced capacity, due to the north east corner of the stadium being dismantled to help facilitate building works for their new stadium being built adjacently.
