Ipswich return to the Premier League next season after a 22-year absence
The 2024-25 Premier League fixtures are being released on Tuesday at 09:00 BST – and you will get them on the BBC Sport website and app as soon as they are announced.
Ipswich Town are waiting to learn who their first Premier League opponents for 22 years will be as they return to the top flight after back-to-back promotions.
Championship winners Leicester and play-off victors Southampton are both back after a one-year absence.
Manchester City will attempt to win the title for the fifth consecutive season.

Matches around European games
This will be even more keenly assessed than usual given the four clubs in the Champions League and two in the Europa League will have eight first-phase games rather than six. Long trips before or after European games do not go down well with managers.
Matches around internationals
There are international breaks in September, October, November and March. In Europe, the first three of those are for Nations League fixtures. World Cup qualifiers in Europe start in March 2025, though in South America and Asia they are being played in all four windows. England managers tend not to be keen on blockbuster league matches immediately before a break and club bosses are equally unhappy at having to play key matches after them when so many players get back on Thursday or Friday.
Festive fixtures
To allow for a mid-August start, there will not be a winter break this season. The Premier League has assured clubs they will not be asked to play twice in less than 60 hours at any point over Christmas and New Year. That rules out any club playing on 26 December also having a game on 28 December. There will be no Christmas Eve fixture in the 2024-25 season. As the FA Cup third round has been moved from its traditional home on the first weekend of January to the second, it does seem there will be four rounds of fixtures over the festive period – starting on 21 December and ending on 5 January.
New managers
Four Premier League clubs already have new managers – Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), Enzo Maresca (Chelsea), Arne Slot (Liverpool) and Julen Lopetegui (West Ham) – with a fifth to come at Leicester. So that's a new era beginning at 25% of clubs before a ball has been kicked. Russell Martin will take charge of a top-flight game for the first time after Southampton's promotion.
The 2024-25 Premier League season will begin on the weekend of 17-18 August.
It will take place over 33 weekends, with four midweek rounds and one Bank Holiday matchweek.
The final round of fixtures will be played on Sunday, 25 May 2025, with all games to kick off at the same time.
