The 2026/27 Premier League season began on the 21st August with defending champions Arsenal hosting Coventry. After a summer of transfers, international football and pre-season preparation, all 20 clubs returned to begin their campaigns.

The opening match round of the 2026/27 Premier League season began on Friday 21 August and concluded on Monday 24 August.

Arsenal’s meeting with Coventry will be the first Premier League match of the campaign. Coventry are among the three promoted clubs for 2026/27, alongside Hull City and Ipswich Town.
Liverpool v Manchester City is the standout fixture of Matchday 6, with the two sides meeting at Anfield in one of the Premier League’s biggest early-season clashes.
Liverpool have made an unbeaten start to the league campaign, although their opening five matches have been mixed. After consecutive 2-2 draws with Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, Andoni Iraola’s side recorded their first league win with a 2-0 victory away to Ipswich Town. A 0-0 draw with Fulham followed before Liverpool edged Bournemouth 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium on their most recent outing, with Alexander Isak scoring the decisive goal.
Liverpool have also picked up wins over Atlético Madrid in the Champions League and Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup during that run. Their latest victory over Bournemouth extended their unbeaten league start, but the narrow scoreline means Iraola’s side will face a significant test against the league leaders.
Manchester City, meanwhile, have made a perfect start to their Premier League campaign, winning all five of their matches. After victories over Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Coventry City, City beat Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford before producing a thrilling 5-3 victory over Sunderland in their latest league outing. The result leaves them on 15 points and top of the table.
Enzo Maresca’s side have also impressed in Europe and the Carabao Cup, beating Porto 2-0 before a 5-0 win over Norwich. Their attacking form has been particularly notable, although the eight-goal thriller against Sunderland also exposed some defensive vulnerabilities ahead of the trip to Anfield.
The first fixture of the 2026/27 season was Arsenal v Coventry City at Emirates Stadium on Friday 21 August at 20:00 BST. The remaining nine matches were played between Saturday 22 August and Monday 24 August.
