Manchester City will kick off their defense of the Premier League title with an exciting visit to Chelsea, which will see Enzo Maresca, the new manager at Stamford Bridge, face off against his mentor, Pep Guardiola.
This highly anticipated match is set for Sunday, August 18, with the 2024-25 season commencing two days prior as Manchester United hosts Fulham on Friday night.
Liverpool, under the guidance of their new manager Arne Slot, will begin their campaign with a trip to newly-promoted Ipswich Town. Slot will immediately experience the 12.30pm Saturday lunchtime kickoff on TNT Sports, a schedule that was famously disliked by his predecessor, Jürgen Klopp.
Southampton, having secured their return to the Premier League through the play-offs, will travel to Newcastle United. Meanwhile, Leicester City is set to host Tottenham Hotspur in the first Monday night fixture of the season.
The last round of matches is scheduled for Sunday, May 25, 2025, with all games kicking off simultaneously.
In other news, the 2024 summer transfer window for the Premier League opened on Friday, June 14, coinciding with the beginning of Euro 2024. This window will close at 11pm UK time on Friday, August 30.
