The Premier League has announced the dates for the 2025/26 season.
The current 2024/25 term concludes on Sunday, May 25, 2025, but the Premier League, on Friday, announced early details for the forthcoming campaign, which will be followed by the 2026 World Cup.
The 2025/26 Premier League season will start on Saturday, August 16, 2025.
That start date is 83 days after the end of the 2024/25 season, which the Premier League says provides the “maximum player rest time).
The 2025/26 season will consist of 33 weekends and five midweek match rounds.
The Premier League said: “The schedule continues to allow more rest time for players over the festive match-round period, with no two rounds taking place within 60 hours of each other.
“This is in keeping with commitments made to clubs to address the congested Christmas and New Year schedule.”
The final Premier League match round will be played on Sunday, May 24, 2026.
