The Premier League officially announced the schedule for the 25/26 season. The new season will start on August 16, and the last round will be on May 24, 2026. In addition, the details of the matchups of each team in the new season will be announced at 16:00 this afternoon.

The official article of the Premier League shows that the date of the 2025/26 season has been determined, and the opening game of the new Premier League season will be on Saturday, August 16, 2025. The last round of games will be held on Sunday, May 24, 2026, when all games will start at the same time under normal circumstances.

The new season schedule continues the concept of providing players with more rest time, and the Christmas schedule will also ensure that there is at least 60 hours between each round of games. This move fulfills the Premier League's commitment to clubs to ease the density of the Boxing Day schedule.

The 2025/26 season will include 33 weekend match days and 5 midweek match days. The start date of August 16 means that the players will have 83 days of rest after the end of the 2024/25 season. The end date of May 24 ensures that the new season can be successfully completed before the 2026 World Cup call-up period.

Finally, it should be reminded that there will be no games scheduled on December 24, 2025.
