The 2026/27 Premier League campaign is ready to get underway on Friday, August 21, with Arsenal beginning their title defence at home against newly promoted Coventry City. The fixture schedule for all 380 matches has already been released, covering the 20 clubs across 38 matchweeks.
Arsenal will start the season as reigning champions after securing the Premier League title in 2025/26. Their opening-day meeting with Coventry will be the first competitive fixture of the new campaign and one of the headline matches of the opening weekend.
The first round also features several notable encounters. Newcastle United will host Liverpool, while Manchester United travel to Hull City. Tottenham Hotspur face Brentford away from home and Manchester City welcome Bournemouth. Chelsea will then host Fulham in a London derby on Monday, August 24.
Coventry City, Hull City and Ipswich Town are the promoted teams entering the 2026/27 season. Their return to the Premier League adds a new dimension to the campaign, with all three clubs facing the challenge of competing against England's top-flight sides over 38 league matches.
As of August 18, the 2026/27 Premier League season has yet to begin, so there are no competitive results or points recorded. The official league table is therefore yet to be shaped by match results, with the standings set to change once the opening fixtures are played.
The Premier League has confirmed that the campaign will feature 380 matches involving 20 clubs. The complete fixture list is available through the league's official schedule, while results and standings will be updated throughout the season.
