After their win against Bournemouth, Liverpool faces tough matches at Newcastle and against Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, the runners-up for the past three seasons. Spurs, with Thomas Frank now in charge, will face newly promoted Burnley at home on August 16. Sunderland makes its return to the Premier League against West Ham, and Leeds plays Everton on Monday, August 18.

Everton fans will have to wait until the second round of fixtures for their first league game at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium, against Brighton.
Despite Liverpool dominating the league last season, Manchester City is tipped as the favorites this time around. The expected Manchester City lineup for 2025/26, under the leadership of Pep Guardiola, boasts some key signings like Rayan Aït-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders, and Rayan Cherki. These newcomers will bolster the defense and midfield, addressing shortcomings from the previous season.

The 2025/26 season consists of 380 games across 33 weekends and five midweek rounds, culminating on May 24 with matches like Manchester City against Aston Villa. The league has scheduled the start date to provide players with 83 clear days of rest after the 2024/25 season.
In case you're wondering, Arne Slot's team has bolstered its squad too, agreeing on deals for Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez to join the team.
