Premier League 2023/24 fixtures to be announced tomorrow

The fixtures for the 2023/24 Premier League season will be announced this Thursday as champions Manchester City learn against whom they will start their defence; we’ll have fixtures for each club live from 9am across our digital platforms, with Sky Sports News providing an hour-long show

With Manchester City crowned Premier League champions for a third successive year and Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town all being promoted, clubs can begin to plan for next season.

Southampton, Leicester and Leeds United will be in the Sky Bet Championship next campaign, so when can supporters finally learn of those all-important opening set of fixtures?

The Premier League season will kick-off on August 12 and conclude nine months later on May 19 2024.

The start is one week later than the 2022/23 launch as the schedule returns to normal following the Covid-19 pandemic and the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which provided disruption during the previous three seasons.

However, the fixture list provides for a return of the mid-season player break which will take place between January 13-20.

In keeping with commitments made to clubs this season to address the congested schedule across Christmas and New Year, no two rounds in this period will take place within 48 hours of each other.

The Premier League’s summer window will open on Wednesday, June 14 and will close at 11pm on Friday, September 1.

The Premier League’s winter window will open on Monday, January 1 2024 and will close at 11pm on Thursday, February 1 2024.

The EFL, Bundesliga, Serie A, LaLiga, and Ligue 1 will also close their windows on the same dates, although times may vary.
