When would we guess the Arsenal home game would land? Can’t see it being a Friday night game which means it’s either 1230/530 Sat or 430 Sunday like last season. Could champions league fixtures the midweek after swing it to Sat rather than Sun?

There are no CL fixtures the midweek following the Arsenal game. Based on that, Sunday 4:30pm must be hot favourite.When would we guess the Arsenal home game would land?

There are CL games the preceding midweek and that could theoretically move a Saturday lunchtime kickoff to Saturday evening if either team is away on the Wednesday. But I expect that’s moot as Sky rather than TNT is where it will almost certainly be broadcast and they will want it for the late Sunday slot if at all humanly possible.

Compared to CL, scheduling of Carabao games is a lot more flexible and can be adjusted to accommodate PL broadcasting requirements.Carabao round 3 starts that midweek though?
If UEFA says you're playing a CL game on a Tuesday when the dates are confirmed in August, you're stuck with that and it immediately rules out playing on the preceding Sunday. Carabao ties can be scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday a few weeks ahead of being played depending on what works best for both teams and their other commitments.

Looks like they’re dragging out the announcement of TV games for August and September until the last possible moment.
I’ve long since stopped being bothered about kick off times. Just part of the game these days.
But there’s absolutely no reason why this announcement couldn’t have come within a day or two of the fixtures coming out.

They usually get released ( tv games ) around 35 days before the season starts so my guess is the 12th July
Well according to the chart on here, the last possible day is 5th July, which is in three days.

Fair enough I have been wrong before and will be wrong again but its usually ( roughly ) 5 weeks before the season starts
