Everton and Liverpool set to learn first TV fixtures as Premier League confirm stadium capacity stance

The Premier League have confirmed the first round of TV fixtures for the upcoming 2021/22 season will be announced by Monday.

Sky Sports, BT Sport and Amazon Prime Video will have 200 matches split between them for the campaign, which is due to get underway on the weekend of Saturday August 14.

Liverpool begin their term with a trip to face newly-promoted Norwich City, while Everton get underway with a new manager at the helm at home to Southampton on the opening weekend.

The Premier League have also reiterated their desire to have full stadiums by the time the new campaign gets underway.

At the beginning of this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed that further lifting of lockdown measures across England would be delayed by a further four weeks after an initial date of June 21st was agreed.

Despite that however, the clubs in the Premier League are still committed to the ambition of welcoming a full compliment of fans back when 2021/22 gets underway.

Both Everton and Liverpool are putting plans in place for the potential of full stadiums once more, but both clubs are following government guidance at every stage.

The Blues had proposals in place last term that can be scaled up or down depending on any regulations that are set to be in place.

The Premier League also confirmed that the weekend of January 29th 2022 forms part of the FIFA International Match Calendar, meaning no matches will take place.

Matchday 37 has also been scheduled for Sunday May 15th to avoid a clash with the FA Cup final, which is set to take place on May 14th.
