Six Manchester United Premier League fixtures rearranged for TV including Liverpool and Arsenal

Manchester United have had six more of their opening Premier League fixtures rearranged for television including the heavyweight clashes against Liverpool and Arsenal.

The Premier League has confirmed the fixtures that have been selected for coverage throughout August and September, with United seeing several fixtures moved. It had already been announced that Erik ten Hag's first competitive game in charge of his new United side, against Brighton, will be televised on Sunday, August 7, and the following six fixtures will also be broadcast live.

The first away game of the season, against Brentford, will still take place on Saturday, August 13, but will now kick-off at 5:30pm rather than 3pm and will be shown by Sky Sports. It's no surprise that the next match, an early meeting with great rivals Liverpool, has also been moved for television, with Sky Sports again broadcasting the match. The game has been moved from Saturday to Monday, August 22, with kick-off coming at 8pm.

United will then be on BT Sport the following week as they take on Southampton on Saturday, August 27, in the day's early kick-off at St. Mary's, with the match starting at 12:30pm. The proceeding Thursday will see United return to BT Sport when they face Leicester City with kick-off coming at 8pm.

United will then welcome another fierce foe in Arsenal to Old Trafford a few days later, with that match being moved to Sunday, September 4, and kick-off coming at 4:30pm on Sky Sports. United's final televised league game to have been announced comes on Sunday, September 11, when they face Crystal Palace. Sky Sports will televise that match and kick-off is at 4:30pm.

The following week's clash with Leeds United at Old Trafford has also been moved, to Sunday, September 18, but it won't be televised. It has been moved due to United's participation in the Europa League the preceding Thursday.
