The Premier League is set to host its 2025-26 season on Sunday, with the first match scheduled for August 18th at the Emirates Stadium in London.

The schedule was announced on Wednesday by Football League chairman Greg Dyke and Football Association president Mark Wilder, who were joined by England manager Gareth Southgate and Manchester City's Pep Guardiola.

The schedule features a mix of top-flight games, including matches against clubs from across Europe, as well as fixtures that will be played in the UK and Ireland.

There will also be a number of home-and-away fixtures, which means that teams will play each other twice in the same week.

It is expected that there will be more than 400 fixtures during the season, with many of them taking place in the summer months.

However, it remains to be seen how the schedule will work out in practice, given the ongoing pandemic situation and the restrictions imposed by local governments. The league has already had to cancel several fixtures due to the spread of the virus, and it is likely that this will continue until further notice.

Overall, the Premier League 2025-26 season promises to be one of the most exciting and competitive in recent memory, with plenty of opportunities for fans to see their favorite teams compete on the biggest stage of the football calendar.
