Why the 2026/27 season starts later
The Premier League has moved the opening weekend to 22nd August 2026, one week later than the previous campaign. The decision was made to provide greater recovery time following the FIFA World Cup 2026, which concludes in July. The league has confirmed there will be 89 clear days between the end of the 2025/26 season and the start of the new campaign.
Player welfare has become an increasingly important consideration as the international football calendar continues to expand.
Premier League hospitality for the biggest matches
Once fixtures are announced, demand is expected to be particularly high for derby matches, title-race encounters and festive fixtures.
Official hospitality packages offer supporters the opportunity to enjoy:
- Premium seating
- Access to exclusive lounges
- Inclusive food and drink options
- Enhanced pre-match and post-match experiences
- Excellent views of the action
Many of the season's biggest fixtures sell out quickly, making early planning especially important.
