The English Premier League has officially announced the schedule for the 2025/26 season. According to a statement released on the EPL website, the new campaign will commence on Saturday, August 16, 2025, with the final round of matches set for Sunday, May 24, 2026.
In a noteworthy change, the league has implemented a policy ensuring that no two match rounds will occur within 60 hours of one another, addressing longstanding concerns over the congested holiday fixture list. Additionally, for the first time, there will be no matches held on Christmas Eve in 2025, a decision that is expected to be well-received by both players and fans. This new approach aims to enhance the experience of the season for all involved.
