Premier League players will continue to take the knee prior to selected games in the 2025-26 season.

The decision was made following a meeting involving top-flight club captains this week, according to a report from The Telegraph.

Unlike previous campaigns however, players will only perform the gesture on two selected fixtures during October's Black History Month.

The gesture, which is said to demonstrate clubs' 'commitment to fight racism and all forms of discrimination' was initially introduced in the summer of 2020 following a request from players.

For two full seasons it was performed prior to every Premier League game in England.
