Premier League fixture change

A record nine Premier League clubs have qualified for Europe in 2025–26, prompting fixture change warnings as matches may move at short notice

Premier League fixture changes are likely next season after a record nine clubs secured qualification for UEFA competitions.

With six clubs in the Champions League, two in the Europa League, and one in the Conference League, the 2025–26 season promises both excitement and logistical strain.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Tottenham will all compete in the Champions League.

Aston Villa and Crystal Palace earned places in the Europa League, while Nottingham Forest will play in the Conference League.

The Premier League has urged fans to plan cautiously, noting that match dates could shift on short notice should clubs progress in European tournaments.

“While the Premier League celebrates this success, it will come with an impact on the scheduling of league matches,” a statement from the league office explained.

The announcement emphasised that late fixture changes may occur once knockout rounds begin, adding complexity to travel plans and broadcast schedules.

The full 2025–26 fixture list was released on Wednesday.

There is an increased likelihood of Premier League fixtures moving at relatively short notice, a league spokesperson said.

Champions Liverpool will open the season at Anfield against Bournemouth on Friday, 15 August. Manchester United host Arsenal in the weekend’s most high-profile clash.

Meanwhile, newly promoted sides Sunderland, Leeds and Burnley will begin their campaigns against West Ham, Everton and Tottenham respectively.

This season also ushers in a new era of television broadcasting, with all matches outside the Saturday 3pm slot to be shown live via Sky Sports or TNT Sports.

However, uncertainty remains around which clubs will play on Sundays due to Champions League scheduling, and fans are advised to await final broadcast picks later this month.

The season concludes on 24 May 2026. With 380 matches across 33 weekends and five midweek rounds, the Premier League has promised that teams will not be required to play twice within 48 hours over the festive period.

Some Boxing Day matches may still be moved based on broadcast selections.

Managers such as Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta and Manchester City’s Ruben Amorim will be watching closely as their squads juggle demanding European and domestic commitments.

The fixture congestion will test every club’s depth, and fan patience may be stretched as matchdays shift to accommodate the continent’s premier football events.
