Premier League 2025/26 Fixtures Revealed: Liverpool Host Bournemouth On Opening Day, Arsenal Face Manchester United

The fixtures for the Premier League 2025/26 have been announced, with champions Liverpool playing their first match of the season at home against Bournemouth, while Arsenal will be making their trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in their opening game of the season.

Pep Guardiola will be expected to lead Manchester City back into title contention, as they face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday (August 16). In the ongoing transfer window, City have made some latest additions to their side, notably Rayan Cherki and Rayan Ait-Nouri, the latter of whom will face his previous club.

Other fixtures include Aston Villa seeking revenge after missing out on Champions League qualification against Newcastle United, who beat them to fifth spot.

Brighton & Hove Albion host Fulham at the Amex, while Nottingham Forest encounter Brentford, who enter their first-ever Premier League campaign without Thomas Frank on the touchline.
