Only guessing but if last season is a guide we might have plenty of Saturday 3 pm games in the first couple of months.
We hardly seemed to be on TV at the start of last year. Presumably as they knew we’d be nailed on to be involved at the end, they saved our games for later on.
Apart from maybe Newcastle, we don’t really play anyone of note until Arsenal in October. So wouldn’t be surprised if most of the games in August and September were left alone.
Thanks, but that's not really relevant as to how many games TV gets on the second weekend, and when...

Friday 8pm
Saturday 12-30pm, 5-30pm
Sunday 2pm, 4-30pm
Monday 8pm
All six slots have been allocated for the first weekend but generally 4 or 5 of those slots are used for weekend games. City won't be on Friday night for the second week with the Super Cup on the 16th, and unlikely to be 12-30 on Saturday for the same reason. IIRC we didn't have a Monday night PL fixture last season so Newcastle at home could be an opportunity.

I think the Champions should be always given a home game first up. Seldom seems to happen to us though.
This year PL has not given the set dates like they did last few seasons ... instead they have said this:
Based on that, I have added "max by" dates for TV picks in our calendar here:

That's the max by dates they have said 6 weeks till Dec and 5 weeks there on, so *should* be announcing these anytime in those weeks ... but knowing them, we'd be wondering each time after the passing of these dates that why haven't they announced these yet.

Sorry, yeah I realised after I posted it that I was looking at the info for a previous season. Was assuming that nobody bothers reading my posts anyway, so didn’t bother editing it.

When can we expect Sky and TNT to confirm there games for the opening couple of months of the season; 3 or 4 weeks' time, maybe?
Have merged this in here Jim ... see my post a couple of posts above in this thread (and the calendar, which now has marked indicative dates for both Aug and Sept).
