Track Tickets
The Premier League 2026/27 fixture list is out, and the new campaign runs from Friday 21 August 2026 through to the final day on Sunday 30 May 2027. Reigning champions Arsenal get the season under way at home, while all 20 clubs now know exactly when the derbies, the title six-pointers and the festive run land. Below is your complete guide to the key dates, the biggest matches and where to get tickets.
Opening weekend (21–24 August 2026)
Arsenal kick things off under the Friday-night lights against Coventry City on 21 August. Saturday brings Manchester United's tricky trip to Hull City and Tottenham's visit to Brentford, while Sunday serves up Liverpool's testing opener away at Newcastle United and Manchester City at home to Bournemouth. The opening round closes with a Monday-night London derby, Fulham v Chelsea (24 August).
The big rivalries: when the derbies land
Every fan checks for these first. Here is when the marquee clashes take place across 2026/27:
| Fixture | First meeting | Reverse meeting |
|---|---|---|
| North London Derby (Arsenal v Tottenham) | Sat 5 Dec 2026 (at Spurs) | Sat 1 May 2027 (at Arsenal) |
| Manchester Derby (Man Utd v Man City) | Sat 12 Sep 2026 (at United) | Sat 20 Mar 2027 (at City) |
| North West Derby (Liverpool v Man Utd) | Sat 21 Nov 2026 (at Liverpool) | Sat 23 Jan 2027 (at United) |
| Arsenal v Chelsea | Sat 5 Sep 2026 (at Arsenal) | Sat 13 Mar 2027 (at Chelsea) |
| Liverpool v Man City | Sat 10 Oct 2026 (at Liverpool) | Sat 8 May 2027 (at City) |
| Chelsea v Tottenham | Sat 24 Oct 2026 (at Chelsea) | Sat 8 May 2027 (at Spurs) |
The festive fixtures
The Christmas and New Year schedule is the busiest stretch of the season, with four rounds in under a fortnight. Boxing Day falls on Saturday 26 December 2026, followed by a midweek round on Wednesday 30 December, a New Year programme on Saturday 2 January 2027 and a second midweek round on Wednesday 6 January. Among the highlights: Tottenham v Arsenal on 5 December heading into the period, and Manchester City v Tottenham on 2 January. Demand over the festive window is always among the highest of the year, so early booking is strongly advised.
Midweek rounds to diarise
Beyond the festive midweeks, the league also schedules full Tuesday/Wednesday programmes on Wednesday 2 December 2026, Wednesday 10 February 2027 and Wednesday 3 March 2027 — the February round including a Tottenham v Manchester City night under the lights.
The run-in and final day
The season reaches its climax across May 2027. The North London derby at the Emirates Stadium on 1 May could carry serious weight, while Liverpool v Chelsea the same day and Manchester City v Liverpool on 8 May may shape both the title and the European places. The final day is Sunday 30 May 2027, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United all at home and Manchester City and Tottenham on the road.
Which 2026/27 fixtures will sell fastest?
Demand is not spread evenly across the season. On the resale market the quickest sell-outs are almost always the same categories: the six derbies and big-six meetings listed above, opening weekend, and the festive programme between Boxing Day and early January. Visits of the title contenders to smaller grounds, where capacity is limited, also tend to move quickly, as do any fixtures that end up shaping the title race or the relegation battle in the closing weeks of May. If your heart is set on one of these, treat it as a priority booking.
How far in advance should you buy Premier League tickets?
For the marquee games, earlier is generally better: that is when the widest range of seats and price points is available, and when you have the most choice over where in the stadium you sit. Lower-profile midweek and early-season fixtures can stay available closer to kick-off, and last-minute tickets do appear as sellers list right up to matchday. The trade-off is selection: leave a derby or a festive fixture late and you may find only premium or single seats remaining. Because the Premier League tickets marketplace refreshes constantly, it is always worth checking back even if your match looks sold out.
How much do Premier League tickets cost?
As a secondary marketplace, prices are set by individual sellers rather than by the clubs, and they can be above or below face value depending on demand. Several things move the price: the profile of the fixture (a derby will cost more than a midweek game against a newly promoted side), where the seat is located in the ground, how close to kick-off you book, and how much availability is left. Bigger stadiums such as Old Trafford, the Emirates and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium usually offer the widest spread of price points, while smaller grounds tend to carry a premium simply because there are fewer seats to go round.

Premier League tickets FAQ
Is it safe to buy Premier League tickets on a resale marketplace?
Yes. Every ticket sold through LiveFootballTickets.com is backed by our 150% money-back guarantee, and our support team is on hand throughout to make sure your order arrives as described and in time for kick-off.
Are last-minute tickets cheaper?
Sometimes, but not reliably. Prices can fall close to kick-off if sellers still have stock, but for high-demand games such as derbies the opposite is often true, with the few remaining tickets carrying a premium. Booking early gives you more certainty over both price and seat.
Will my tickets be seated together?
Tickets bought within the same listing are located together. If you are booking for a group, choose a single listing with enough seats to keep everyone in the same area.
What happens if the kick-off time or date changes?
Premier League fixtures are regularly moved for live television, so the exact day and kick-off time of a match can change after the schedule is first published. Your tickets remain valid for the rearranged fixture, and we will keep you informed of any changes to your booking.
