The fixtures for the 2025/26 Premier League season will be released on Wednesday, June 18 at 9am; with Liverpool and Everton set to learn their fate.

A year earlier, their season got also got underway away from home when they travelled to Chelsea and that match finished all-square at 1-1. David Moyes will get his first taste of Premier League football at the new stadium after the Blues' boss made a promise to stay away during the test events in recent weeks.
Everton will have an emotional farewell from Goodison Park a matter of months before the season gets underway in August. They will be hoping for a mouth-watering home start to kick-off the new era in style.
The season will kick-off on Saturday, August 16 before the curtain closes on the campaign on Sunday, May 24 when all matches kick-off simultaneously. Players will also be afforded some rest time across the festive period - with two rounds of fixtures not taking place within 60 hours of each other.
It follows the Premier League's commitment to address congested schedules, during the Christmas and New Year periods. However, this summer's Club World Cup poses as a potential issue for Manchester City and Chelsea - who will participate in the new-look competition.
The conclusion of the campaign, at the end of May, also allows for a period before any preparations for the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States. A number of players from Liverpool and Everton are set to take part in that tournament - providing qualification goes to plan.
