Puma Stellar Nitro Ultimate: The new Premier League match ball for 2026/27

The ball retains the neon pink and purple colourway of its predecessor, the Orbita Ultimate, which was used throughout the 2025/26 campaign.

It features Puma's nitrogen-infused foam, branded Nitrofoam, which the company says returns more energy so the ball travels faster and further. A revised panel construction and grooved surface texturing are designed to improve the ball's stability as it moves at speed through the air.

The Stellar Nitro Ultimate marks Puma's second season as official Premier League ball supplier after the brand took over from Nike ahead of the 2025/26 season, ending a 22-year partnership between the league and the American manufacturer.

Puma is only the third company to supply the competition's match ball since its 1992 launch, following Mitre, which held the deal until 2000, and Nike.

The new ball will be in play from the opening weekend, which begins on Friday, August 21st, when champions Arsenal host newly promoted Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium (kick-off at 20:00 BST).

The season runs until Sunday, May 30th 2027.
