The Premier League have released the initial list of fixtures for the upcoming 2025-26 season — “initial” because things are always subject to change for broadcast needs and considerations for other competitions — and Chelsea will once again start the campaign at home.

Their first real test comes on the opening weekend of the new campaign with a trip to Stamford Bridge. It is part of a decent opening run for Palace as they also face Nottingham Forest. Aston Villa, Sunderland and West Ham before a double header against the Merseyside pair - Liverpool and Everton.
