Premier League 2025-26 fixtures RELEASED: Manchester United meet Arsenal in HUGE Old Trafford opener - Liverpool face AFCON nightmare and Everton's first game at new stadium

Manchester United will play Arsenal in the enormous headline clash of the Premier League's first round of fixtures next season.

The game is one of English football's most historic fixtures and all eyes will be on the heavyweight encounter. It's is scheduled for a 4:30 kick-off on Sunday, August 17.

Arsenal were desperately disappointed to finish last season without silverware - ending as runners-up to Liverpool as their title challenge stuttered towards the end of their campaign. They have a tricky first few weeks this time, playing United first before visiting Anfield in week three and Man City a fortnight later.
