The Premier League Player of the Season is an annual association football award presented to players in England, which recognises the most outstanding player in the Premier League each season. The recipient is chosen by a panel assembled by the league's sponsors consisting of members of "football's governing bodies, the media and fans", and is announced in the second or third week of May.{{cite web|title=Ferguson and Vidic land awards|url=http://www.espnfc.com/story/921807|date=21 May 2011|access-date=28 June 2014|publisher=ESPN|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140628092355/http://www.espnfc.com/story/921807|archive-date=28 June 2014}} For sponsorship purposes, from 1994 to 2001 it was called the Carling Player of the Year; from 2001 to 2004 as the Barclaycard Player of the Year;{{cite web|url=http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=forwardOnly&nextPage=enSeasons |title=Premier League Awards |publisher=Premier League |access-date=28 June 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061210142537/http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=forwardOnly&nextPage=enSeasons |archive-date=10 December 2006 |url-status=dead }} and from 2004 to 2016 as the Barclays Player of the Season.{{cite web|title=History of the Premier League |url=http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/about/history.html |publisher=Premier League |access-date=28 June 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120421110805/http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/about/history.html |archive-date=21 April 2012 }}{{Failed verification|date=August 2020}} Since the 2016–17 season, it is called the EA Sports Player of the Season.

The Premier League was founded in 1992, when the clubs of the First Division left the Football League and established a new commercially independent league that negotiated its own broadcast and sponsorship agreements. The newly formed league had no sponsor for its inaugural season until Carling agreed to a four-year £12 million deal that started the following season.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/1118425.stm|title=Why Carling called time on Premiership|first=Peter|last=Jones|date=19 January 2001|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|access-date=28 June 2014}} That same season, Carling introduced individual awards for players, such as the Golden Boot.{{cite news|title=Top Ten – Golden Boot |url=http://www.skysports.com/interactive/top_tens_story/0,25722,11065_6134449,00.html |date=May 2010 |access-date=29 June 2014 |publisher=Sky Sports |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141008220608/http://www.skysports.com/interactive/top_tens_story/0%2C25722%2C11065_6134449%2C00.html |archive-date= 8 October 2014 }} However, the Player of the Month and Player of the Season awards were only first bestowed during the 1994–95 season.{{cite web|title=Seasonal Awards 1993/94|url=http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=setSelectedId&nextPage=enNewsLatest&id=466954&type=com.fapl.website.news.NewsItem&categoryCode=NewsSpecialFeatures&breadcrumb=sfsub_breadcrumb|publisher=Premier League|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061209120612/http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=setSelectedId&nextPage=enNewsLatest&id=466954&type=com.fapl.website.news.NewsItem&categoryCode=NewsSpecialFeatures&breadcrumb=sfsub_breadcrumb|archive-date=9 December 2006|access-date=29 June 2014}}{{cite web|title=Seasonal Awards 1994/95 |url=http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=setSelectedId&nextPage=enNewsLatest&id=466955&type=com.fapl.website.news.NewsItem&categoryCode=NewsSpecialFeatures&breadcrumb=sfsub_breadcrumb |publisher=Premier League |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061211025922/http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=setSelectedId&nextPage=enNewsLatest&id=466955&type=com.fapl.website.news.NewsItem&categoryCode=NewsSpecialFeatures&breadcrumb=sfsub_breadcrumb |archive-date=11 December 2006 |access-date=29 June 2014 |url-status=dead }} The first Player of the Season award was given to Blackburn Rovers striker Alan Shearer, who won the Premier League title with his team and the Golden Boot that season.{{cite news|title=Van Persie follows in Shearer's footsteps|url=https://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=2081340.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130608121138/http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/clubfootball/news/newsid=2081340.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 8, 2013|date=20 May 2013|access-date=29 June 2014|publisher=FIFA}}

Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidić and Kevin De Bruyne have been Player of the Season on two occasions each and are the only players to have won the award more than once, with Ronaldo having achieved this in consecutive years (2007 and 2008). Eight players were the Premier League's leading goalscorer and won the Golden Boot alongside the Player of the Season award.{{cite news|title=Luis Suarez named Barclays Player of the Season|url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-fc-luis-suarez-named-7111678|date=13 May 2014|access-date=28 June 2014|first=James|last=Pearce|newspaper=Liverpool Echo}}{{cite news|title=Van Persie wins Premier League Golden Boot|url=http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/van-persie-wins-premier-league-golden-boot|publisher=Arsenal F.C.|date=14 May 2012|access-date=1 July 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203014426/http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/van-persie-wins-premier-league-golden-boot|archive-date=3 December 2013}} Four of these players – Kevin Phillips,{{cite news|title=Will Luis Suarez break the Premier League goal scoring record this season?|url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/will-luis-suarez-break-the-premier-league-goal-scoring-record-this-season-29861426.html|date=23 December 2013|access-date=30 June 2014|first=Declan|last=Whooley|newspaper=Irish Independent}} Henry,{{cite news|title=Golden Shoe fits for Thierry Henry|url=http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/golden-shoe-fits-for-thierry-henry|date=31 May 2005|access-date=30 June 2014|publisher=Arsenal F.C.|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203012653/http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/golden-shoe-fits-for-thierry-henry|archive-date=3 December 2013}} Ronaldo and Luis Suárez – went on to win the European Golden Shoe in the same season.{{cite news|title=Ronaldo receives Golden Boot in his native Madeira|url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-ronaldo-boot-idUKLD30291020080913|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190512161542/https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-soccer-ronaldo-boot-idUKLD30291020080913|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 May 2019|date=14 September 2008|access-date=30 June 2013|first=Carlos|last=Pontes|work=Reuters}}{{cite news|title=Ronaldo and Suárez share Golden Shoe accolade|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=2108007.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140523193150/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/news/newsid=2108007.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=23 May 2014|date=19 May 2014|access-date=30 June 2014|publisher=UEFA}} Eleven players have won the Premier League trophy with their respective clubs in the same year they received the award, with Ronaldo and Vidić each accomplishing the feat on two occasions with Manchester United.{{cite news|title=Sir Alex Ferguson and Nemanja Vidic win season awards|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/13479964|work=BBC Sport|publisher=BBC|date=20 May 2011|access-date=1 July 2014}} Ronaldo is the only player to be named Player of the Season and win the FIFA World Player of the Year; when he accomplished this in 2008, he became the first player from the Premier League to be voted the world's top footballer. In 2023 Manchester City's Erling Haaland became the first player in Premier League history to win both Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season awards for the same campaign.

The current holder of the award is Manchester City's Phil Foden.
