The Premier League season may almost be at an end but football’s relentless calendar means a new campaign is not at all far away.

Liverpool are basking in a title triumph and will hope to kick on again in Arne Slot’s second season after an outstanding start to life under the Dutchman.

Manchester City and Arsenal will look to hit back after disappointing outcomes, while Newcastle, Tottenham and Crystal Palace could build on cup successes.

Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland are the promoted three from the Championship, hoping to avoid the fate that befell last year’s elevated trio who all returned immediately to the second tier.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the fixture unveiling.

When are the Premier League fixtures announced?
