While Euro 2024 has only just finished and the Olympics is around the corner, preparations for the 2024/25 Premier League season are well underway. 

Teams have been back at training for a while already, the first friendlies have been played and squads are now jetting off for moneyspinning pre-season tours.

With fans desperate to get their first look at new signings (or new kits if your team's been quiet in the market), pre-season friendlies will be devoured and poured over before the real stuff starts. FourFourTwo takes a look at each Premier League team's upcoming warm-up matches and how to watch them.
