UEFA Conference League: The new season of the Premier League will kick off at the Emirates Stadium in London with defending champions Arsenal playing newly-promoted Coventry City on August 21, with the Gunners hoping to start from where they left off in the 2025-26 season.

The opening weekend will see Hull City host Manchester United for the season’s first Saturday lunchtime game on August 22. There are three Premier League fixtures kicking off at 15:00 -- Nottingham Forest will host Leeds United; Crystal Palace will visit Everton; and Ipswich Town will play their first game back in the Premier League against Sunderland. Saturday will finish with Brentford against Tottenham Hotspur.

Then on Sunday, August 23, Manchester City will face AFC Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium while Brighton & Hove Albion will meet Aston Villa at 14:00. This is due to Brighton’s participation in the UEFA Conference League qualification play-offs on the preceding Thursday.
