The 5 Fastest Players In The Premier League

The Premier League has started the 2026/27 campaign with several rapid attackers and defenders producing eye-catching sprint figures according to the Official Premier League site.

Clubs have plenty of time to add more names, but these numbers provide a snapshot of the season’s quickest performers. The fastest players in the Premier League have produced eye-catching numbers during the rounds, with five names breaking beyond 35km/h in official tracking figures.

The figures come from Premier League tracking data and cover matches through 28 September 2026. They measure each player’s highest recorded speed during a league match.

Who are the Premier League‘s players with electrifying pace?

5. Milan van Ewijk – 35.26 km/h

Coventry City defender Milan van Ewijk takes fifth place after reaching 35.26km/h against Hull City. His pace allows him to cover ground quickly at both ends of the pitch.

Van Ewijk’s figure puts him level with Chelsea winger Pedro Neto, who reached the same speed against Brighton. However, the official Premier League ranking places Van Ewijk fifth among the top five.

4. Robinio Vaz – 35.28km/h

Hull City forward Robinio Vaz sits fourth after recording 35.28km/h against Chelsea. His speed gives Hull another option when the side breaks forward.

Only 0.02km/h separates Vaz from Van Ewijk, showing how close the rankings remain.

3. Gonzalo García – 35.34 km/h

Fulham centre-forward Gonzalo Garcia occupies third place with a maximum speed of 35.34km/h. He reached the mark against Liverpool, putting him ahead of Vaz and Van Ewijk.

Garcia plays centrally, where quick movement can create space between defenders. His speed gives Fulham another route into open areas.

2. Bryan Mbeumo – 35.36 km/h

Manchester United winger Bryan Mbeumo ranks second after reaching 35.36km/h against Everton. His figure sits just 0.02km/h above Garcia, leaving second place extremely tight.

Mbeumo’s pace can stretch defensive lines, particularly when he receives the ball wide and attacks space behind the full-back.

1. Bradley Barcola – 35.93 km/h

Liverpool winger Bradley Barcola leads the list with 35.93km/h, putting him clear of Mbeumo. He produced the figure against Ipswich Town on his Premier League debut, just six minutes after entering the match as a substitute.

Barcola’s mark stands 0.57km/h above Mbeumo’s best figure so far. It remains below the Premier League tracking-era record of 37.38km/h, yet it gives the Liverpool winger the fastest recorded burst of the 2026/27 campaign.

The standings remain provisional because the season has only reached its early stages. Barcola has established a clear lead, while the margins behind him remain small. The fastest players in the Premier League could change places as more matches add fresh tracking data.
