Reports revealed that the 2026/2027 English Premier League season may begin on 22 August and run until 30 May 2027, ending one week before the UEFA Champions League final.
According to the English outlet Sky Sports, the 2026/2027 Premier League season may kick off one week later than usual, on Saturday, 22 August.
This is the latest start date ever for the competition, due to the 2026 World Cup final being held on 19 July, meaning the Premier League will begin 33 days after the end of the World Cup.
The competition will feature 33 weekend rounds and 5midweek rounds.
It will start a week later than usual to allow for a recovery period after the expanded World Cup, which ends on 19 July.
This change also creates an 89-day gap between the end of the 2025/2026 season and the start of the new one.
