The dust may only just be settling on the 2022/23 season but anticipation is growing for the forthcoming campaign.
Arsenal gave it a real go but came up short in their Premier League title race battle with Manchester City, who completed the treble when they beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the Champions League final on Saturday. Mikel Arteta's Gunners will go again, though, this time with Declan Rice in midfield if he joins from West Ham United ahead of a big summer for Stan Kroenke's side.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will be hoping to banish memories of a painful first season under the ownership of Todd Boehly that saw his team finish in 12th place and end the campaign with Frank Lampard in interim charge following the sacking of Graham Potter. And for Tottenham Hotspur, it's a new dawn under Ange Postecoglou after he was convinced to leave Celtic and Champions League football with the Glasgow side to move south and take over from Antonio Conte.
The fixtures for the forthcoming Premier League campaign will be released at 9am British Summer Time on Thursday, June 15. Dates for all 380 matches will be confirmed, with some set to be moved for television coverage or because of involvement in cup competitions.
The campaign will begin on August 12 and conclude on May 19 and it is the first season since 2019-20 that has not been affected by either the World Cup break or the coronavirus pandemic in terms of scheduling. Mid-season breaks are back with the festive schedule addressed, meaning no two rounds of matches will take place within 48 hours of each other.
Between January 13 and 20 there will also be a mid-season player break, known more widely as a winter break. Because of the break for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Premier League season finished on May 28 but next season it will finish nine days earlier, allowing for more time between June international games and the end of the campaign.
