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 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.
