2025–26 Premier League Fixtures: Full List of Games, Liverpool Look to Defend Title

Champions Liverpool will get the 2025–26 Premier League season underway when they entertain AFC Bournemouth on the opening weekend.

Arne Slot’s side will host the Cherries under the Anfield lights on Friday, August 15, with rivals Manchester City travelling to Molineux the following day to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers. A belter of a clash between Manchester United and Arsenal headlines Sunday’s action before newly promoted Leeds United round off the first set of fixtures by hosting Everton on Monday night.

Elsewhere, Aston Villa entertain Newcastle United in a battle between two sides vying for Champions League qualification last season, Brighton & Hove Albion play Fulham, Nottingham Forest take on Brentford and play-off winners Sunderland return to the big time with a home game against West Ham United.

Thomas Frank’s first Tottenham Hotspur assignment is against Burnley, also newly promoted to the Premier League, and Chelsea must try to get the better of last season’s FA Cup winners Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.

There’s a titanic clash between Liverpool and Arsenal penned in for the third week of the season, two weeks before Man City host Man Utd in the first Manchester derby of the campaign.

Liverpool host Everton in the Merseyside derby in mid-September before heading to the latter’s new home ground in April. Arsenal and Tottenham lock horns for the first time in late-November at the Emirates Stadium, while Sunderland’s return to action against Newcastle United comes on Saturday, December 13.

The last day of the campaign sees Liverpool host Brentford, Man City take on Aston Villa, and Arsenal travel across London to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
