The Premier League returns with the seventh round of matches in the 2025/26 season – and a wide slate of live televised games to savour.
Eight of this weekend's 10 matches will be shown live across Sky Sports and TNT Sports, predominantly on Saturday or Sunday.
The match week begins with high-flying Bournemouth up against Fulham at the Vitality Stadium on Friday Night Football live on Sky Sports.
Saturday lunchtime sees Leeds host Tottenham on TNT Sports, while Sky boast the standard evening kick-off – a firecracker blue-versus-red Chelsea versus Liverpool showdown.
Premier League on TV this weekend
Friday 3rd October
Bournemouth v Fulham (8pm) Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier LeagueSaturday 4th October
Leeds v Tottenham (12:30pm) TNT Sports 1 Chelsea v Liverpool (5:30pm) Sky Sports Main Event / Sky Sports Premier LeagueSunday 5th October
Aston Villa v Burnley (2pm) Sky Sports+ Newcastle v Nottingham Forest (2pm) Sky Sports Main Event Wolves v Brighton (2pm) Sky Sports Mix Everton v Crystal Palace (2pm) Sky Sports Premier League Brentford v Manchester City (4:30pm) Sky Sports Premier League / Main EventThat's where the usual pattern ends. There will be four matches in the 2pm slot on Sunday afternoon, followed by Manchester City's trip to Brentford to wrap up the weekend in the Super Sunday 4:30pm slot.
The reason for the additional Sunday matches is the sheer number of Premier League teams involved in European competitions this season.
Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa were involved in the Europa League on Thursday, plus Crystal Palace competed in the Conference League, meaning their three matches were shifted onto Sunday's plate. Wolves versus Brighton was already scheduled for the 2pm slot in the initial fixtures announcement.
The above amounts to eight live televised matches to soak up this weekend, yet two of the Premier League's star attractions have fallen through the cracks.
Arsenal and Manchester United's clashes against West Ham and Sunderland respectively will fall into the traditional 3pm Saturday slot behind the blackout.
It's a blow to the Gunners' fans as their team begins to heat up and could go top of the table with a victory.
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise for United fans, who have only witnessed nine wins from 33 Premier League matches under the stewardship of Ruben Amorim.
