England

Premier League

Current champion: Manchester City

The fierce competition in the Premier League is what makes it one of the world’s most exciting leagues. This season’s title race looks wide open—Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool all have a decent shot at dethroning the current champion, Manchester City. With Mikel Arteta’s young Arsenal side just missing out on the title last season and firing on all cylinders, there’s a genuine title race on this year!

FA Cup

Current champion: Manchester City

England’s top knockout competition never fails to entertain, with several underdogs beating the more prominent teams at various stages.

Carabao Cup (EFL Cup)

Current champion: Manchester United

The Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) represents another excellentknockout competition and chance for silverware for teams across England.

France

Ligue 1

Current champion: PSG

Kylian Mbappéand PSG aim to win a third consecutive Ligue 1 title, though this time without the likes of Lionel Messi (now at Inter Miami in the MLS), and Neymar (playing at Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League)—and it’s hard to look past the Parisians for the title again this season.

Coupe de France

Current champion: Lyon

While PSG is France’s dominant team, it was Lyon who took the domestic cup last season, beating Metz 2-1 in the final. However, don’t discount wild cards like Monaco, Marseille, or Lille to make deep runs in the competition.

Germany

Bundesliga

Current champion: Bayern Munich

Can anyone beat Bayern Munich to lift the Meisterschale? It’s hard to look past the German champions, but Borussia Dortmund is lethal on its day, while the likes of RB Leipzig are also one of Germany’s best attacking teams.

DFB-Pokal

Current champion: RB Leipzig

Bayern Munich is naturally the favorite for the German domestic knockout cup. Still, Bayern Leverkusen, and Eintracht Frankfurt have reached the finals in recent years—and the current champion is RB Leipzig, who beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the 2023 final to win its second DFB-Pokal title.

Italy

Serie A

Current champions: Napoli

The Italians are known for their flair and passion, and Serie A is no different this season. Napoli won its first Serie A title in 33 years, ending years of stagnation since the glamorous Maradona era. But Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus, Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma and Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan, and Stefano Pioli’s AC Milan all have eyes on the title.

Coppa Italia

Current champions: Inter Milan

Inter Milan may not have won the Serie A title, but it did secure the Coppa Italia. Juventus is the competition’s most successful club with 14 wins.

Spain

Copa del Rey

Current champions: Real Madrid

Real Madrid beat Osasuna 2-1 to claim its 20th Copa del Rey title. The beauty of the domestic cup is that there’s always a chance for a plucky underdog to create an upset and take all the glory, so who knows who could claim the crown next season.

Belgium

Current champions: Antwerp

Antwerp won its fifth league title on the final day of the 2022–23 Belgian Pro League season. The big question is can the likes of Anderlecht(the most decorated club in Belgian football history), Gent, and Club Brugge prize it away this season?

Saudi Arabia

Current champions: Al-Ittihad

The 2023-2024 Saudi Pro Leagueseason is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent years. The league has attracted some of the biggest names insoccer, includingCristiano RonaldoandKarim Benzema.N’Golo Kantéand reigning championsAl-Ittihad began the season seeking their 10th title.

Brazil

Brasileirão Série A

Current champions: Palmeiras

Joga bonito—“the beautiful game”—is at the heart of Brazilian football, where style, flair, and individual brilliance are almost as important as the final result. Going into the 2023 season, Palmeiras, Atlético Mineiro, and Flamengo—the three most recent champions—were the betting favorites for the SérieA title.

Japan

J1 League

Current champions: Yokohama F. Marinos

Japan’s top 18 clubs compete for the first division crown in the 2023 J1 League season. Yokohama F. Marinos are the team to beat as the champions defend their title, but there are also AFC Champions League places to play for, domestic cups, and a spicy relegation battle come the end of the season. Don’t miss one of Asia’s most exciting leagues and players in action!
