The 2026–27 Premier League published its complete fixture list, including the opening round, on 19 June 2026.
The Premier League released the schedule at 10:00 BST on 19 June. The publication covered all 380 league fixtures, although individual dates and kick-off times remained subject to later changes.
The announcement revealed that Arsenal would host Coventry City on Friday, 21 August, beginning the campaign. It also confirmed the Saturday, Sunday and Monday matches that made up Match Round 1, including Hull City versus Manchester United and Fulham versus Chelsea.
Fixture-release day is separate from the season’s opening date. The schedule was announced more than two months before the first match, allowing supporters and broadcasters to plan while leaving room for television selections, European commitments and other adjustments. The published list therefore represented the official starting framework rather than an absolute guarantee that every later detail would remain unchanged.
