This page documents the highest assist totals achieved in a single Premier League campaign, based solely on assists recorded in official league matches.

The dataset features seasons produced by some of the competition’s most influential playmakers and forwards. Man City legend Kevin De Bruyne appears multiple times, underlining consistent creative output across different Manchester City campaigns and why he is considered one of the best midfielders in the history of football. He is joined by one of the greatest Arsenal players, Thierry Henry, whose 2002–03 season set a long-standing benchmark and at 3rd place we have Mesut Ozil, whose 2015–16 campaign remains one of the most productive in league history.

Only assists recorded in Premier League fixtures are counted, with no adjustments for playing position, minutes or tactical role. The data shows how over the period of time sigificance of assist providers has increased as they played crucial roles in making their team win the domestic league.
