Overview
- The Premier League published the first tranche of televised kick‑off times on Tuesday, July 7, confirming date and time changes for fixtures in August and September.
- Manchester United v Manchester City was rescheduled for Sunday 13 September with a 4:30pm kick‑off and will be shown live on Sky Sports.
- Several big clubs saw multiple early fixtures moved for broadcast, with Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Everton each having games shifted into new weekend or evening slots.
- Sky Sports and TNT Sports took the majority of the early‑season picks, and some changes are conditional and may revert depending on Carabao Cup or European scheduling and future broadcast selection windows.
- The picks come against a tighter calendar after the World Cup and a restructured autumn international break, a change that will affect supporter travel, clubs’ match preparation and the risk of early‑season fixture congestion.
