The fixtures for the 2024/25 Premier League season have been released this morning.
We’ll soon be bringing you a two-part Frisking the Fixtures article looking at the best and worst runs in the opening six Gameweeks.
Our Season Ticker will also be updated shortly.
In the meantime, we’ll be giving an initial live reaction to the 9am BST fixture release.
KICK-OFF AT OLD TRAFFORD
The season will, as has become tradition, get underway on a Friday night.
Manchester United will host Fulham on August 16, with Gameweek 1 spread over four days as has become the norm.
FAVOURABLE START FOR LIVERPOOL
One schedule that jumps out is that of Liverpool, who begin life without Jurgen Klopp with a favourable run of games.
Arne Slot has been dealt a fairly kind hand, with only Manchester United – fresh from their worst-ever Premier League finish – of the ‘big six’ awaiting in the first seven Gameweeks.
Newly promoted Ipswich Town provide the opposition on the first weekend before a sequence of three home matches in four.
- Gameweek 1: Ipswich Town (a)
- Gameweek 2: Brentford (h)
- Gameweek 3: Manchester United (a)
- Gameweek 4: Nottingham Forest (h)
- Gameweek 5: Bournemouth (h)
- Gameweek 6: Wolverhampton Wanderers (a)
- Gameweek 7: Crystal Palace (a)
More to follow
INTERNATIONAL BREAKS BUT NO WINTER BREAK
We’ll get a total of three Gameweeks before our first international break in September.
Further international fortnights will follow after Gameweeks 7, 11 and 29.
There will be no winter break this season, however.
FESTIVE FIXTURES
There are four Gameweeks (17-20) over the festive period but more spaced out to avoid the 48-hour turnarounds we’ve encountered in previous years.
The shortest recovery times look set to be between Gameweek 18 (the Boxing Day round) and Gameweek 19 (starting on December 29).
MIDWEEK GAMEWEEKS
Our first midweek round of matches is Gameweek 14, which takes place on December 3-4.
There will be four midweek Gameweeks in all, the other three following in 2025.
