Football fans across Africa and beyond, it's time to start planning your viewing schedules! The Premier League typically releases fixtures for each new season in mid-June, roughly six to eight weeks before the campaign kicks off.

For African stars plying their trade in England's top flight, the fixture release represents the roadmap for what could be career-defining moments.
While the exact date remains unconfirmed, history suggests Premier League chiefs will stick to their traditional mid-June timeline.
