Premier League fixtures 2025/26: Schedules for all clubs released - who will Liverpool, Man City, Leeds United and Sunderland play on first weekend?
The 2025/26 Premier League season is now less than two months away - and the full schedule has now been announced.
League chiefs announced the fixture list at 9am today (Wednesday 18 June). Between August and May, the Premier League will host matchdays across 33 weekends and five midweek rounds.
It's also guaranteed that players will have 83 clear rest days over the course of those nine months, where no games are played. The campaign will conclude with 10 simultaneous kick-offs on Sunday, May 24.
This has been scheduled to leave enough time ahead of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, which gets underway on June 11. Leeds United and Burnley both sealed a return to the Premier League via automatic promotion from the Championship last season.
Sunderland will join them in the top-flight after defeating Sheffield United in the play-off final. Listed below are the matches that will take place on the first weekend of the season.
