As Premier League Season Ends, There’s Still Plenty of Soccer Left for the Summer

Manchester City’s Premier League title was already in the bag before last weekend’s final matches, but there was still much to be ironed out on the final day. Three teams were relegated — Leicester City, Leeds United, and Southampton — while the top-4 earned bids to next year’s Champions League (see below). For our devout soccer fans, many of whom follow the EPL more vigorously than other leagues, there’s still plenty left on the pitch this summer. The FA Cup and Champions League finals are right around the corner, and the FIFA Women’s World Cup is coming in late July. Plus, MLS and NWSL action will pick up in the months ahead. Here’s a look at the Premier League final standings and the key soccer matches on the way this summer.
