Hupu November 21 News The Premier League official has just announced that the match date of the 2026/27 Premier League season has been determined, and the first round of matches will start on Saturday, August 22, 2026. The final round of competition will be played on Sunday, May 30, 2027, when all games will kick off at the same time as usual.
With the increasingly intensive global football schedule, player welfare remains a priority for the Premier League. As a result, the Premier League will start a week later next season. This will leave players with 89 days of rest after the end of the current season, and 33 days after the FIFA World Cup final.
The season will end one week before the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday 5 June 2027. The 2026/27 season will include 33 weekend rounds and 5 midweek matches. The Premier League schedule will try to avoid conflicting dates between domestic matches and UEFA matches.
During Christmas and New Year, there will be no two rounds of games within 60 hours to ensure that the club can cope with the Christmas and New Year games in a more intensive game schedule.
