The 2026/27 Premier League season is scheduled to commence on Friday, August 21, 2026, with the opening round of fixtures. The season will conclude on Sunday, May 30, 2027. This slightly later start than usual is a deliberate measure to provide players with additional recovery time following the expanded 2026 FIFA World Cup. The season will wrap up just a week before the 2027 UEFA Champions League final.
Before the Premier League action kicks off, the traditional curtain-raiser, the FA Community Shield, will take place on Sunday, August 16, 2026. This year's fixture will see Premier League champions Arsenal face FA Cup winners Manchester City at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The venue change from Wembley Stadium is due to a pre-booked concert, marking the first time in two decades that the Community Shield will be held outside of England.
