The much-awaited schedule for the new season of the English Premier League i.e. PL 2022/23 has been announced. The 2022/23 season will kick off a week earlier than usual and will conclude a week later. Also, there will be a stoppage in November and December to accommodate the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The authorities announced the schedule for the first five matches for every team on Thursday. With that they also answered many questions like against whom Manchester City will begin their title defense and which team will be the next to try to end Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp's unbeaten record on the Premier League's opening day? To answer the first question, Pep Guardiola’s men will begin their title defense against West Ham United on 7 August. Meanwhile, Fulham FC will try to end Liverpool’s unbeaten record on the Premier League’s opening day.
The three new (promoted) clubs this season, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth will start their campaign in the English Premier League against Liverpool, Newcastle, and Aston Villa respectively on 5 August. Chelsea will kick off their season under the new ownership led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital by playing away to Everton, while Manchester United, under new manager Erik ten Hag, will begin their campaign at home against Brighton & Hove Albion.
