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. Since 2021, it is known as the Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Playmaker of the Season.

In 2018, the Premier League Playmaker of the Season was first awarded, with Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City its inaugural recipient.[2]
