Twenty teams will compete in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season, as well as three teams promoted from the Championship.

Burnley became the first club to be promoted after a 1–0 win against Queens Park Rangers on 2 May 2016 meant they were guaranteed an automatic place.[4] They return to the League after only a season's absence. Middlesbrough became the second club to be promoted, after a 1–1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion meant they finished above them on goal difference and secured the second automatic spot. They will play Premier League football for the first time since the 2008–09 season.[5] Hull City became the third and final club to be promoted, following a 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship play-off final at Wembley Stadium on 28 May 2016, to secure their return to the Premier League after only a season's absence.[6]

The three promoted clubs replace Newcastle United, Norwich City and Aston Villa.

Stadia

West Ham United will be playing for the first time in the 60,010 capacity Olympic Stadium.[7] Stoke City have announced that from the 2016–17 season the Britannia Stadium will be renamed to the bet365 Stadium.[8]
