AliousWolves’ Full 2025/26 Premier League Fixture List Released – Blockbuster Start vs Man City & Brutal Festive Run Revealed
The wait is over. Wolverhampton Wanderers now know their full 2025/26 Premier League schedule following today’s official release of fixtures. From the season opener to the final day, Wolves’ entire 38-game campaign has been unveiled, offering fans plenty to talk about.
Wolves to Open Against Reigning Champions
Wolves kick off their new season with one of the toughest assignments possible — hosting Premier League champions Manchester City under the Molineux lights. The clash will take place on Saturday, August 16, with a 5:30pm kick-off and live coverage on Sky Sports. That mouthwatering curtain-raiser is followed by a trip to Bournemouth and a home clash with Everton to complete the first three matchdays.
First Fixtures Confirmed for TV – Wolves in Spotlight
As is tradition, several matches from the opening weekend have been selected for live broadcast. Liverpool vs Bournemouth opens the season on Friday night (August 15), while Wolves vs Man City is Saturday evening’s main event. Other high-profile clashes, including Man United vs Arsenal and Chelsea vs Palace, will also be aired across the weekend.
Fixture Flexibility – Why Dates Could Still Change
While the first weekend’s dates and times are locked in, the remainder of the calendar remains subject to change. UEFA competitions will impact scheduling heavily this season, with a record nine English clubs competing across the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. Domestic cup runs will also lead to fixture rearrangements, especially as clubs reach the later stages of the FA Cup.
No Europe for Wolves This Time Around
Wolves won’t be distracted by midweek European commitments in 2025/26 after finishing 16th last season. Their most recent foray into continental football came in 2019/20, when they reached the Europa League quarter-finals under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Fixture Highlights and Key Dates
Opening Day: Manchester City (H), August 16
Boxing Day: Liverpool (A), December 27
Final Day: Burnley (A), May 24
The festive schedule will test Wolves’ depth, with three huge matches in six days: Liverpool away, Man United away (Dec 30), and West Ham at home (Jan 3). Another standout run includes back-to-back games against Arsenal (H) and West Ham (A) in March and April, followed by clashes against Tottenham, Sunderland, and Brighton.

A Challenging Road Ahead

For fans, players, and staff alike, the countdown to kickoff has well and truly begun. The stage is set. Now it’s time to deliver.
