Sky Sports has confirmed that it will show six matches from the opening weekend of the 2027/27 Premier League exclusively live, including the opening fixture at the Emirates Stadium between champions Arsenal and Championship winners Coventry City – back in the Premier League for the first time in 25 years. The weekend will also see two all-London clashes on Sky Sports as Brentford host Spurs and Fulham take on local rivals Chelsea.
