Champions Manchester City travels to West Ham on the first weekend of the 2022-23 Premier League season, which will include a mid-season break for the World Cup in Qatar.
Because of the World Cup, there will be no top-flight games after the weekend of November 12-13 until December 26.
Crystal Palace will play Arsenal in the first match on Friday, August 5th. Liverpool travels to promoted Fulham, while Nottingham Forest travels to Newcastle.
For the first time since 1998-99, Nottingham Forest has returned to the Premier League.
The World Cup, which will feature both England and Wales, starts on 21 November. The final is on 18 December, eight days before the Premier League season resumes.
There are no meetings between the Premier League’s so-called ‘big six’ on the weekend of 12-13 November – the one before the World Cup – following a request by the Football Association.
England will meet up on 14 November before flying to Qatar the following day.
Special arrangements have been made to allow more time between games played across the three festive match rounds.
This will allow squads greater time to recover. Previously clubs were given a minimum of 48 hours between matches.
After fixtures on 26-27 December, the following match round will be played on 29, 30 and 31 December. The New Year match round will be played on the 2, 3, 4 and 5 January.
