Liverpool will kick off the 2025-26 Premier League season with a home match against Bournemouth on August 15, while Manchester United will take on Arsenal at Old Trafford in a high-profile opener.

The Premier League released the full fixture list for the upcoming season on Wednesday, just weeks after the conclusion of the previous campaign, allowing clubs and supporters to begin preparations.

Aiming for their third league title in six years — possibly with Florian Wirtz among their ranks — Liverpool will open the season with a Friday night clash at Anfield against a Bournemouth side that finished ninth last season.

It’s a challenging start for manager Arne Slot’s title holders. After facing Bournemouth, they’ll travel to Newcastle before hosting Arsenal, another Champions League participant, in the third round.

Tottenham’s new boss Thomas Frank will oversee his first league match at home against newly-promoted Burnley on August 16, just three days after Spurs’ UEFA Super Cup clash against Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain.
