The below Premier League fixtures are subject to change - dependent on the upcoming draw for the UEFA Champions League knockout stages on Friday 27 February.
- West Ham United v Manchester City - Saturday 14 March, 12:30
- Arsenal v Everton - Sunday 15 March, 14:00
Any changes to the above fixtures will be made as soon as possible following the UEFA draw - and UEFA’s subsequent confirmation of its match scheduling.
The Premier League confirmed the above fixtures on 21 January and advised UEFA that clubs scheduled to play on Sunday 15 March would not be available to play Champions League fixtures on Tuesday 17 March.
Unfortunately, UEFA has not been able to provide any guarantees on its scheduling ahead of the draw.
As a result, the Premier League now faces the possibility of re-scheduling its fixtures at even shorter notice, at the inconvenience of supporters and clubs.
The Premier League will continue its regular dialogue with UEFA over fixture scheduling.
- Ahead of the 2025/26 season, the Premier League advised supporters of an increased likelihood of Premier League fixtures moving at relatively short notice should our clubs progress to the knockout rounds of UEFA competitions.
- A record nine Premier League teams have competed in UEFA competitions this season, with six in the UEFA Champions League.
- The Premier League aims to provide supporters with six weeks’ notice to confirm broadcast selections.
- March fixtures were confirmed by the Premier League on 21 January - including the above referenced fixtures on 14/15 March.
- Arsenal and Tottenham were selected to play their respective fixtures on Sunday 15 March. At the time of selection - there were two UCL League Phase match rounds to play.
- UEFA will conduct the draws for its 10/11 March and 17/18 March fixtures on 27 February, less than two weeks before those fixtures - which could impact Premier League fixtures.
- Teams that finish in the top 8 of the Champions League League Phase (including Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Chelsea) play their Round of 16 second legs at home. It is a long-standing local authority policy that Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal do not play on the same day at home.
- The Premier League fixture between West Ham United and Manchester City, currently scheduled for 12:30 on Saturday 14 March, remains subject to Manchester City’s UCL RO16 away first leg being scheduled for Tuesday 10 March - which UEFA cannot guarantee.
