Premier League TV Selection Dates 2025/26

Good to see the real issue being totally overlooked here mind. Having a few pints and crack with your mates is an enormous part of the day for most people. It’s the first time in years where the football is now a reason to go, up until recently that wasn’t the case. We as a group can’t currently get public transport back from any game that kicks off at 8pm, let alone shifting another one to a day where you can’t even get public transport there. Taking the car is a totally different day and far less enjoyable.

I appreciate that the 8pm kick off is rubbish and inconvenient for some. However, football has always been scheduled on NYD. It doesn't matter if it's 8pm, or 3pm, the transport issues still exist. Also, if Leeds is moved to 4:30pm Sunday and Spurs to 2pm Sunday, then that is standard for games been moved for TV for Premier league coverage. We all want the club competing at the top table, so unfortunately we have to understand games will be moved for TV. Let's wait and see what's announced though. Would they put us on three times in a week?

For me an earlier kick off new yrs day while not ideal is a bit more manageable due to a family member who doesnt go to games but is happy to take us and pick us up. An 8pm kick off he wont be able to do that so it would need to a very expensive taxi there and back
 
The biggest issue here (in my opinion) is the utter disregard for those without transport.

I’d like to see a database set-up for car sharing. It’s in our supporters DNA to help each other out. And for Xmas matches it could help some people out massively (and let a few more have a drink).
 
City on NYD 8PM is perfect for me, land back in the Country from holiday early NYD and thought I was going to miss the game.

Shit for people getting there mind. Wouldn’t be surprised at quite a few resales for it
 
SSN just been saying that there are issues setting a date for the Palace and Arsenal League Cup QF because Palace have a European game 18th December.
Sort of issue that dominoes and spreads fixture chaos.

I've been told it'll be today but they like to move the goalposts.

How accurate our your sources ?
Really need to book flights as they keep going up. An Arsenal fan on twitter has just posted their matches are still being played on the 27th and 30th but have changed the kick off times
