Fixtures Calendar - 2023/24

Vinny v City.... Opening live fixture..... anybody seriously believe this was randomly selected?

It probably was randomly generated.

They just ran the fixture generator over and over again until it gave them an iteration of the fixture schedule that optimised viewership and other desired variables. ;-)

Anybody come up with a conspiracy theory yet regarding the fixtures :)

Yeah we play each team twice, home and away, clearly rigged.

It was. On the 35th time of asking

Its almost like we ask for an away game every season......

Could you point to information about this request and how the PL continue to honour it?

I have not seen this so I am curious how it is accommodated with a fixture process that is meant to be randomised for competition integrity purposes.

Its not meant to be random, thats a complete myth.

How the Premier League fixture list is compiled

Ahead of 2024/25 fixture release, find out the work that takes place to schedule the 380 matches

www.premierleague.com

"Around March, the Premier League sends to its clubs a form asking questions such as whether there are there any dates they wish not to be at home - which is answered in conjunction with the local police - and whether there are any teams they do not wish to play at home on Boxing Day."

I don't think that Arsenal and the rags will be too happy!

There are a number of constraints that go into the selection algorithm - for instance City and United or Liverpool and Everton not playing at home on the the same day. Clubs can also request constraints due to other factors - for isntance City requesting an away fixture first because of concerts at the Etihad. the computer then does a random selection around these constraints.

It's never been random. There's loads of factors that go into it.

And Burnley are already in pre-season aren’t they? Swear I saw clips of them returning to training last week. They are going to be in prime condition but we are always forced to start slowly and without multiple players. Tough start.
