orywireThe Premier League says the 2026/27 fixtures will be released at 10:00 BST on Friday 19 June 2026. The season is due to start on Saturday 22 August, with the official schedule available through the league website and app.
The 2026/27 Premier League fixtures will be released at 10:00 BST on Friday 19 June 2026, according to the Premier League. Supporters should use the official Premier League website or Premier League app for the schedule when it goes live.
The league says the full schedule for the new campaign will be published on 19 June. Its summer calendar says dates for all 380 matches will be made available through the Premier League website and app at 10:00 BST.
The release will set out the initial match dates across the season. It will not necessarily be the final word on every kick-off time, because the Premier League says dates can change for reasons including live television coverage.
The official starting point is the Premier League website and official app. Fans can also use the Premier League’s digital calendar after release to add fixtures to a phone, computer or other device.
Supporters planning tickets or travel should also check their club’s official channels once the fixture list is out. Club guidance can matter for ticket windows, away allocations and matchday travel advice.
The opening match round is scheduled to begin on Saturday 22 August 2026. The final match round is due to be played on Sunday 30 May 2027, with all games kicking off at the same time as usual on the final day.
The Premier League said the season starts a week later than in 2025/26 to help with player welfare in a summer affected by the FIFA World Cup. The league has also said the season will contain 33 weekends and five midweek match rounds.
Fixture release day gives fans the first full league map, but some dates and times can still move. Live television selections are the most obvious reason, and clubs may later publish updated ticket, travel and matchday information.
The safest approach is to treat 19 June as the planning starting point, not the final travel deadline. Supporters booking trains, hotels or flights should check club advice and the latest fixture page before committing to arrangements that cannot be changed.
This article should be refreshed when the fixture list is published on 19 June and again when the first broadcast-selected changes are announced.
