The schedule for the 2026-27 Premier League season is revealed!
After 22 long years of waiting and suffering, Arsenal won the 2025-26 Premier League. The Gunners will put their title back on the line in a few weeks against opponents determined to dethrone them. But for some, it will be necessary to manage major changes. This is the case for Manchester City. After a good decade, Pep Guardiola has given up his apron. Unless there is a surprise, it is Enzo Maresca who will replace him. On the Chelsea side, Xabi Alonso will try to restart the machine. Same thing for Andoni Iraola, chosen to succeed Arne Slot on the prestigious Liverpool bench. Roberto De Zerbi, who managed to save Tottenham from industrial disaster, or even Michael Carrick, who succeeded Ruben Amorim perfectly, will also be on the starting line.
