Arsenal's visit to Fulham will open the new Premier League season on Saturday September 12.

The all-London clash at Craven Cottage has been given a 12:30pm kick off slot live on BT Sport with Premier League champions Liverpool beginning their title defence against Leeds at 5:30pm that evening on Sky Sports.

However, eleven out of the 28 Premier League matches confirmed for September will not be available for fans in the UK to view live.

This season 220 matches will be broadcast live, up from 200 in 2019-20.

And while all Premier League matches next month will be played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic, no arrangement has been put in place similar to the one agreed for the end of last season which meant the final 92 matches were all broadcast live, with 33 of those made available free to air.
