The Premier League schedule for the 2026/27 season is now underway, with the latest fixtures placing Everton against Manchester United and Arsenal against Chelsea on Sunday, September 6. The season began on August 21 and will run through May 30, 2027, with 380 league matches scheduled across 20 clubs.
For U.S. fans, the current calendar provides several major matchups during the opening weeks. Arsenal’s title defense has already brought the club into prominent fixtures, while Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all have important games approaching.
The league has confirmed the full season calendar, but individual matches can still move because of television selections and other competition commitments. That makes checking the latest fixture information especially important when planning to watch from the United States.

Sunday, September 6, features two Premier League matches.
Everton will host Manchester United before Arsenal welcomes Chelsea later in the day. Both matches have been selected for prominent broadcast slots.

Why Match Dates Can Change
The published fixture list provides the framework for the season, but supporters should not assume that every kickoff will remain fixed.
Premier League matches can move because broadcasters select games for live coverage. Domestic cup matches and European competition can also require changes.
The league has already announced amendments to several August and September fixtures following broadcast selections.
This matters for U.S. supporters because a Saturday match can move to Friday, Sunday or Monday. A kickoff can also move from the standard Saturday time to another broadcast window.
The safest approach is to check the latest confirmed fixture information before making travel plans or arranging a viewing event.
How U.S. Fans Can Follow the Schedule
The 2026/27 Premier League season is available across NBC, USA Network and Peacock in the United States.
Peacock also offers Multiview for selected matches, allowing viewers to follow multiple games during busy portions of the schedule.
That feature can be particularly useful during weekends when several matches begin at the same time.
U.S. viewers should also pay attention to Eastern Time when comparing British kickoff announcements with American broadcast schedules.
A match listed for 4:30 p.m. in the United Kingdom can appear as an 11:30 a.m. ET kickoff in the United States during the September portion of the season.
What to Watch in the Coming Weeks
The next few rounds contain several fixtures that should attract major U.S. attention.
The September 6 Arsenal-Chelsea match is followed by the Manchester derby on September 13.
Liverpool’s trip to Bournemouth comes on September 20, while Manchester City hosts Sunderland on the same day.
October brings another major test when Liverpool hosts Manchester City.
The final days of October then become especially busy, with Chelsea facing Manchester United before Liverpool meets Arsenal on November 1.
The schedule continues to provide direct meetings between the league’s leading clubs throughout the season.
For American supporters, the concentration of major fixtures means there will be several opportunities to watch high-profile Premier League games without waiting for the later stages of the campaign.
The Schedule Through May 2027
The 2026/27 Premier League calendar runs for more than nine months.
The season started on August 21 and concludes on May 30, 2027. The league has also built the calendar around international and European competition dates.
Christmas and New Year scheduling has been adjusted to provide greater recovery time between match rounds. The Premier League has stated that no two match rounds during the Christmas and New Year period will take place within 60 hours of each other.
That adjustment forms part of the league’s approach to managing a congested football calendar.
The final matchday will again provide a simultaneous conclusion, with all 10 fixtures scheduled to start together.
Current Premier League Schedule Outlook
As of September 6, the season has only reached its early stages, but the fixture calendar already contains several major matchups.
Manchester City has started strongly, Liverpool has recorded a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town, and Sunday’s Arsenal-Chelsea fixture remains one of the biggest games of the current round.
The Manchester derby then follows on September 13.
With Arsenal defending the title and several established contenders competing across the schedule, the coming weeks will provide an increasingly useful indication of how the season is developing.
For U.S. viewers, the most important immediate dates are September 6, September 13, September 20 and October 11.
The calendar will continue to be adjusted where necessary, so fans should always check the latest confirmed kickoff time before planning around a specific match.
