The Premier League has announced when Manchester United and other top-flight clubs will find out their fixture list for the 2026/27 season.
Despite a topsy-turvy first half to the current season, Manchester United find themselves third in the Premier League table with seven games remaining.
Michael Carrick has turned things around at Old Trafford, although it remains to be seen if the 44-year-old will remain as head coach beyond this season.
United are focused on finishing the current campaign as strongly as possible to secure a Champions League spot. But it won’t be long before the attention switches to taking more steps forward next term.

Premier League confirms fixture list release date for 2026/27 season
The Premier League has today provided an update on plans for next season.
It’s always one of the most exciting times of the summer when the Premier League announces its new fixture list for each team.
As a United fan with a season ticket, the fixture I look for first is Liverpool, closely followed by the Manchester derby and Leeds if the latter can avoid relegation to the Championship.
