Arsenal will start Premier League title defence against Coventry
Arsenal will kick off their Premier League title defence against promoted Coventry on August 21.
The Premier League fixtures for the 2026-27 campaign were released on Friday, with the Gunners' home game against Frank Lampard's Coventry among the highlights in the opening round of matches.
Coventry are back in the top-flight for the first time in 25 years after winning the Championship last season.
Andoni Iraola's first Premier League game as Liverpool manager will be at Newcastle on August 23.
Former Bournemouth boss Iraola's Anfield debut is set for the weekend of August 29 against Nottingham Forest.
Manchester City start life after Pep Guardiola at home to Bournemouth on August 23.
City are expected to appoint former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca to replace Guardiola, who stepped down at the end of the season after a decade in charge.
New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso begins his reign with a west London derby at Fulham on August 24.
Hull City, who won promotion via the Championship play-offs, begin their first Premier League season since 2017 with a home fixture against Manchester United on August 22.
Ipswich, promoted in second place in the Championship, host Sunderland on August 22.
Elsewhere on the first weekend, Europa League winners Aston Villa travel to Brighton.
Brentford host Tottenham, Everton welcome Crystal Palace and Leeds visit Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal, champions for the first time since 2004, face a testing period after they host Coventry.
Mikel Arteta's side head to Villa for their first away league game of the season, then meet Chelsea at Emirates Stadium on September 5.
Trips to Sunderland and Brighton follow for the north Londoners.
The weekend of September 12 brings the first Manchester derby of the post-Guardiola era, while Liverpool host Manchester United on November 21.
City and Arsenal do not face each other until November 28 at the Emirates Stadium.
The first Merseyside derby of the season between Everton and Liverpool is scheduled for November 28 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Roberto De Zerbi will get his first taste of the north London derby on December 5 when Tottenham host Arsenal.
The pick of the Boxing Day schedule sees Coventry boss Lampard facing his old club Chelsea on December 26.
Liverpool travel to arch rivals Manchester United on January 23 and a week later City host Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
The final day of the Premier League will take place on May 30, with Arsenal at home to Brighton while City travel to Sunderland and Liverpool host Bournemouth.
Chelsea and United finish at home to Brentford and Fulham respectively.
The start and the end of the coming season are later than usual as a result of the World Cup, which finishes just 34 days before the Premier League begins.
Arsenal will face FA Cup winners City in the Community Shield, which serves as the curtain raiser to the top-flight season, on August 16.
