The Premier League has officially released the full fixture list for the 2025/2026 season, with a headline-grabbing clash between Manchester United and Arsenal set to light up the opening weekend.
Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United side will welcome Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to Old Trafford on Sunday, August 17, in what promises to be a high-stakes showdown. United, coming off a disappointing 15th-place finish last season, will be desperate to start afresh, while Arsenal will be aiming to kick off their title challenge on a strong note after finishing as runners-up for three consecutive campaigns.
Defending champions Liverpool will begin their title defence at Anfield on Friday night, August 15, when they host Bournemouth under the lights at 8pm.
Elsewhere, Manchester City travel to Molineux to face Wolves in Saturday’s late kick-off, while Chelsea begin their campaign at home against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.
The new season officially kicks off on Friday, August 15, 2025.
