Arsenal’s festive schedule confirmed

The Premier League has taken the unusual, but welcome, step of confirming its festive broadcast schedule for the period between 26 December and 7 January 2027.

The schedule was finalised in consultation with the Football Supporters’ Association and representatives from club Fan Advisory Boards, giving supporters more than three months to make their travel plans.

A statement by The FSA reads: “Letting supporters know which games are being moved for TV makes our lives easier – whether that means cheaper rail tickets, time booked off work or even hotel room availability.

“We’re pleased the Premier League has acknowledged our views on this and today’s announcement is a step in the right direction. It does make it easier for supporters of top-flight clubs to plan for the Christmas and New Year period.”

Arsenal’s matches over this period will run as follows:

Sunday 27 December, 7pm
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal
Sky Sports

Wednesday 30 December, 7.30pm
Fulham vs Arsenal
Sky Sports

Saturday 2 January, 3pm
Arsenal vs Ipswich
Not broadcast in the UK

Tuesday 5 January, 7.30pm
Arsenal vs Brentford

In case you’re wondering whether the broadcast selections for the preceding period have been confirmed, the answer is no.

Selections for November’s match rounds are due to be announced during the week commencing 21 September, while December’s are expected during the week commencing 19 October.
