Who is suspended in the Premier League, who is one booking away from a ban, and every red card so far in 2026/27. Every club has played 5 league games, so the first cut-off, five bookings in a club's first 19 matches, still applies to everyone. Bookings and statuses as of 1 October 2026.
"Any player who earns five bookings from their side's first 19 Premier League matches of a season serves a one-match ban." "Players who accumulate 10 yellow cards in Premier League matches up to and including their side's 32nd fixture will serve a two-match suspension."
