Premier League 2026/27 Full Fixture List by Matchweek
The schedule below covers all 380 Premier League matches. Confirmed broadcast changes are included through the currently amended October fixture list. Most later Saturday 3pm and midweek 8pm times are provisional and should not be treated as final travel information.
The Premier League states that weekend fixtures default to 3pm UK time and midweek rounds to 8pm unless another time has been confirmed. Every fixture remains subject to change.
Opening Weekend: Matchweek 1
The campaign starts a week later than a normal mid-August opening because the calendar allows extra recovery time after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Arsenal begin their title defence at the Emirates against Coventry City. Manchester United travel to newly promoted Hull City on Saturday lunchtime, Manchester City host Bournemouth on Sunday, and Liverpool visit Newcastle later that afternoon.

TNT Sports TV Picks
TNT Sports currently has one prominent Saturday selection in most of the confirmed matchweeks:
| Date | Fixture | UK time |
|---|---|---|
| 22 August | Hull City v Manchester United | 12:30pm BST |
| 29 August | Liverpool v Nottingham Forest | 12:30pm BST |
| 5 September | Newcastle United v Bournemouth | 12:30pm BST |
| 12 September | Sunderland v Arsenal | 8pm BST |
| 19 September | Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa | 12:30pm BST |
| 10 October | Arsenal v Leeds United | 12:30pm BST |
| 17 October | Everton v Chelsea | 12:30pm BST |
| 24 October | Aston Villa v Manchester City | 12:30pm BST |
| 31 October | Chelsea v Manchester United | 12:30pm GMT |
Sky and TNT selections matter because the original fixture release is only the starting point. A match first listed for Saturday at 3pm can move to Friday night, Saturday lunchtime or evening, Sunday or Monday once television and competition requirements are known.
Why Premier League Kick-Off Times Change
A fixture date released in June should not automatically be treated as a confirmed travel date.
The Premier League can move matches for several reasons:
- Sky Sports or TNT Sports selects the fixture for live UK television.
- A club has played in the UEFA Europa League or Conference League on Thursday.
- A Champions League fixture affects the available recovery period.
- An FA Cup or EFL Cup tie creates a clash.
- Local authorities or policing requirements require a change.
Nine Premier League clubs are involved in UEFA competitions this season, increasing the chance of Sunday moves and later amendments. The league aims to give supporters around six weeks’ notice before January and around five weeks from January onwards, though cup progress can create shorter-notice changes.
This is especially relevant if you are booking a train or hotel months ahead. Check the confirmed date again before paying for non-refundable travel.
How Does the Saturday 3pm Blackout Work?
Premier League matches kicking off at 3pm on Saturday are not shown live on television in the UK during the Football Association’s closed period.
The blackout runs from 2:45pm to 5:15pm on Saturday. Its purpose is to protect attendances and participation throughout the English football pyramid, including lower-league and grassroots football.
That means a row in the fixture list showing:
Saturday — 3pm — Arsenal v opponent
does not automatically mean that match will remain at 3pm.
There are two possibilities.
If Sky Sports or TNT Sports selects it, the match normally moves outside the closed period.
If it stays at Saturday 3pm, there is no authorised live television broadcast of that match in the UK.
The current broadcast agreement makes this distinction particularly clear. At least 267 Premier League matches are shown live in the UK because all matches played outside the Saturday 3pm closed period can be broadcast. Sky has a minimum of 215 and TNT Sports has 52.
The blackout applies to UK television availability. Overseas broadcast arrangements are different.
Premier League TV Pick Announcement Dates
Later matchweeks remain much more likely to move than the dates already confirmed for August, September and October.
The Premier League publishes a guide for when future live TV decisions should become clearer:
| Match period | Matchweeks | Expected announcement period |
|---|---|---|
| November | MW10-12 | Week commencing 21 September 2026 |
| December/January | MW13-20 | Week commencing 19 October 2026 |
| January | MW21-23 | Week commencing 30 November 2026 |
| February | MW24-27 | Week commencing 21 December 2026 |
| March | MW28-30 | Week commencing 18 January 2027 |
| April | MW31-33 | Week commencing 22 February 2027 |
| April/May | MW34 | Week commencing 22 March 2027 |
| May | MW35 | Week commencing 29 March 2027 |
| May | MW36 | Week commencing 5 April 2027 |
| May | MW37 | After the FA Cup semi-finals |
These are target periods rather than guarantees. UEFA and domestic cup results can force later changes.
For that reason, the most useful way to read the fixture table is to treat later dates as the planned matchweek rather than a promise that every match will remain at Saturday 3pm.
Key Premier League Fixtures to Mark
Several early matches stand out because their dates are already confirmed.
Manchester United host Manchester City in the first Manchester derby on Sunday 13 September at 4:30pm BST on Sky Sports.
Liverpool host Manchester City on Sunday 11 October at 4:30pm BST, while Liverpool v Arsenal follows on Sunday 1 November at 4:30pm GMT.
The reverse Manchester derby is currently placed in Matchweek 30 on 20 March 2027. Arsenal v Manchester City is provisionally scheduled for 28 November, with the return at the Etihad on 30 January.
The first north London league meeting between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal is currently set for 5 December. Arsenal then host Spurs on 1 May.
These later fixtures should be treated as provisional until their television selections and competition requirements are settled.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Premier League 2026/27 season start?
The 2026/27 Premier League season starts on Friday 21 August 2026. Arsenal host promoted Coventry City at the Emirates in the opening fixture, with kick-off at 8pm BST on Sky Sports. The opening matchweek continues until Fulham v Chelsea on Monday 24 August.
When does the Premier League 2026/27 season finish?
The season finishes on Sunday 30 May 2027. All ten Matchweek 38 fixtures are scheduled to kick off simultaneously at 4pm UK time, including Liverpool v Bournemouth, Manchester United v Fulham and Sunderland v Manchester City.
Are all Premier League 2026/27 kick-off times confirmed?
No. Early-season television selections have already moved many fixtures, but large parts of the later fixture list remain provisional. Saturday matches initially appear at 3pm and midweek matches at around 8pm until broadcasters, European schedules and domestic cup commitments are taken into account.
How many Premier League matches will Sky Sports show?
Sky Sports will show a minimum of 215 Premier League matches during the season under the current UK rights agreement. TNT Sports has 52 matches, giving UK viewers at least 267 live league fixtures outside the protected Saturday 3pm period.
Why are Premier League matches not shown at 3pm on Saturday?
The FA’s closed period prevents live football broadcasts in the UK between 2:45pm and 5:15pm on Saturday. The rule is designed to protect attendance and participation throughout professional, lower-league and grassroots football. A Premier League fixture that remains at Saturday 3pm therefore is not shown live on UK television.
When are Premier League TV fixtures announced?
The timing varies by part of the season. November selections are targeted for the week commencing 21 September 2026, while December and early January decisions are targeted for the week commencing 19 October. The Premier League generally aims for around six weeks’ notice before January and five weeks afterwards.
Premier League Fixtures 2026/27: What to Check Before Matchday
The Premier League fixtures 2026/27 are now laid out from Arsenal v Coventry City on 21 August through to all ten final-day matches on 30 May 2027.
The important part is knowing which information is final. Dates and UK kick-off times already selected for television are much firmer, while later Saturday 3pm listings should still be treated as provisional.
Before buying tickets, booking travel or planning a weekend around a match, check the fixture again after the relevant Sky Sports and TNT Sports selections have been announced. For current football information on matchday, the main TotalSportek sports site can be used alongside the season schedule.
