This weekend's big Premier League match

Liverpool vs Arsenal: Liverpool and Arsenal are the two favorites for the EPL title and they will go head-to-head before the September international break. The Gunners have made a bright start to the season, but they travel to Anfield without the injured Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard.

Liverpool, like Arsenal, have claimed six points out of six so far, but Arne Slot's side do not look as defensively secure as they were last season. Can Arsenal take advantage of those shortcomings, or will Liverpool prove too strong at home?

What else should I know about the Premier League?

The Premier League (EPL) is the top tier of English football, established in 1992 after clubs broke away from the Football League First Division. It is widely regarded as the most-watched and lucrative football leagues in the world. It reaches 920 million homes in 189 countries.

The season runs from August to May. The league consists of 20 clubs, with each team playing 38 matches; two against each other team, one home and one away. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat.

The team with the most points at the end of the season is crowned champions. The teams who finish in the bottom three of the Premier League table, are relegated to the Championship – English football's second tier.

The fixtures for the 25/26 season were released on June 18, 2025 and are listed on the official Premier League fixtures page. The schedule is compiled by a computer. In every five-game sequence there must be no more than three home games per team. Clubs are usually paired with their local rivals to avoid, say, Man City and Man Utd both playing at home on the same weekend.

Premier League matches are always subject to change, with TV companies often moving matches for live coverage.

When are the international breaks?

Premier League international breaks took place on September 1-9, October 6-14 and November 10-18, 2025 for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.

A further break is due to take place from March 23-31, 2026 to allow for the 2026 FIFA World Cup play-offs and other international games.

When does the Premier League season end?

The final round of Premier League games will be played on Sunday, May 24. All matches will kick off at the same time.
