Premier League Confirms 2026/27 Fixture Release Date and Season Schedule

The Premier League will release the complete 2026/27 season fixtures on Friday, 19 June at 10:00 BST, with all 380 matches available on premierleague.com and the official Premier League app. Fans will be able to download fixtures directly to their mobile devices through the Premier League's digital calendar, with a live blog beginning at 09:00 BST offering build-up, analysis, and reaction throughout the day. The Premier League will also rank each team's fixtures to identify which clubs face theoretically easier or tougher starts to the season.

The 2026/27 season is scheduled to begin on Saturday, 22 August 2026 and conclude on Sunday, 30 May 2027, with all matches on the final day kicking off simultaneously. The season will consist of 33 weekends and five midweek match rounds. The Premier League has deliberately delayed the start by one week compared to the 2025/26 season to prioritise player welfare, allowing 89 clear days from the end of the current season and 33 days from the FIFA World Cup 2026 final. The final day will occur one week before the UEFA Champions League Final on 5 June 2027.

Scheduling the 2026/27 fixtures is a meticulous process lasting nearly half a year, involving the coordination of 2,036 matches across the Premier League's top four divisions. Over the Christmas and New Year period, no two match rounds will occur within 60 hours, reflecting the Premier League's commitment to manage the congested holiday schedule within the expanded international calendar. The fixture release will also enable Fantasy Premier League managers to begin planning for the 2026/27 season, with Fixture Difficulty Ratings to be published alongside the fixtures.
