Opening weekend's big Premier League match

Man Utd vs Arsenal: Arsenal are fed up of being bridesmaids. Runners-up in three consecutive campaigns, the Gunners will hope it is fourth time lucky in 25/26. They begin their title challenge with a potentially tricky trip to Old Trafford, a ground they have struggled at even during the Mikel Arteta era.

Man Utd endured their worst season for decades last time out. Ruben Amorim needs a strong start as he aims to drag the Red Devils up the table. Will his team pick up three points on opening weekend?

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.
