Musim 2026/27 sekilas pandang (the season at a glance)
The 2026/27 Premier League season runs from Friday 21 August 2026 to Sunday 30 May 2027. The full 380-match fixture list was released on 19 June 2026, and the calendar has 33 weekend rounds plus 5 midweek rounds. The start is one week later than usual because it sits 33 days after the FIFA World Cup 2026 final, and the season closes before the Champions League final on 5 June 2027.
The opening match is champions Arsenal at home to promoted Coventry City at the Emirates on Friday night UK time. For Malaysian viewers that is 3:00 pagi, Sabtu 22 Ogos. The final day, as always, sees all 10 matches kick off simultaneously: 4:00 pm UK on Sunday 30 May 2027, which is 11:00 malam in Malaysia.
Penukaran masa UK ke MYT (the conversion rule)
Malaysia stays on MYT (UTC+8) all year, but the UK changes clocks mid-season, so the offset changes once:
| Period | UK clock | Rule | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 Aug to 24 Oct 2026 | BST (UTC+1) | UK + 7 hours | Sat 3:00 pm = 10:00 malam MYT |
| 25 Oct 2026 to 27 Mar 2027 | GMT (UTC+0) | UK + 8 hours | Sat 3:00 pm = 11:00 malam MYT |
| 28 Mar to 30 May 2027 | BST again | UK + 7 hours | Sun 4:00 pm = 11:00 malam MYT |
The common slots for the first two months: Saturday 12:30 pm UK = 7:30 malam MYT, Saturday 3:00 pm = 10:00 malam, Saturday 5:30 pm = 12:30 pagi Sunday, Sunday 2:00 pm = 9:00 malam, Sunday 4:30 pm = 11:30 malam, and the Friday or Monday 8:00 pm night games = 3:00 pagi the next morning.
