The Premier League Playmaker of the Season is an annual English football award, presented to the player who has made the most assists (the last pass made before a goal scored) in the Premier League. For sponsorship purposes, it was called the Cadbury Playmaker of the Season between its inception during the 2017–18 season [1] and 2019–20 season. For the 2020–21 season, it was known as the Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Playmaker of the Season; since the following season it is known as the Castrol Playmaker of the Season.
