The 2026-27 Premier League season is almost here! It all kicks off next Friday evening with Arsenal taking on Coventry City. But which games will be shown on TV for each of the 20 Premier League clubs, and who gets the most coverage?
Sky Sports and TNT Sports have just revealed their first batch of televised matches, covering August 21 to September 20. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal won the 2025-26 title after finishing second for the past few seasons behind Manchester City and Liverpool. This will be the Gunners’ first time trying to keep the Premier League trophy.
Arsenal’s opener as champions will be against newly-promoted Coventry City at Emirates Stadium on Friday, August 21 at 8PM, live on Sky Sports. In their first five games, Arsenal have four matches on TV (80%), with three on Sky Sports and one on TNT Sports.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace, last season’s Conference League winners, have the fewest televised games – just one out of five (20%), which is their game against Manchester City on August 28.
