Premier League opening weekend TV fixtures confirmed as Arsenal and Chelsea selected

The TV schedule is out for the opening weekend and two London clubs will be appearing on Sky Sports or BT Sport right at the start of the 2022/23 campaign.

This season is set to be like one we have never seen before, with the usual fixture schedule being altered due to the unusual winter World Cup. Qatar 2022 will disrupt the November and December calendar for all clubs competing in their respective leagues and European competitions. Therefore, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs, who themselves are competing in domestic European competitions, will have to adapt to unusual circumstances that haven't been seen before.

This includes the earlier start to the season, which kicks off on the weekend commencing August 6. Usually, the Premier League opens its doors for business at the mid-end of August but the opening games have been brought forward to help relieve fixture congestion later in the campaign, with the top two divisions in England pausing for the Word Cup.
