Sky will kick off the 2015/16 season with title defenders Chelsea hosting Swansea City while Manchester United will play Tottenham Hotspur on BT Sport.
All English Premier League fixtures for August and September have been announced by Sky and BT. Sky has bagged the lion’s share of the Premier League games – 116 matches – while BT Sport will broadcast 38 games this season.
All of BT’s games announced so far are 12pm Saturday matches, while Sky will be showing Sunday games as well – the first televised Sunday match of the season being Arsenal vs West Ham at 1:30pm.

“In our opening 24 matches we will show every Premier League team, telling the complete story as the season starts to take shape, as well as the big head to heads like Man City vs Chelsea and Man Utd vs Liverpool.”
While BT Sport can’t boast that it’s got quite as big a spread, BT has been able to get all of the Big Four clubs in six games in the early stages of this season.
On top of this, both of Manchester United’s UEFA Champions League qualifiers will be broadcast on the new BT Sport Europe channel alongside two United home games in August.
Simon Green, Head of BT Sport, said: “Football fans can look forward to a terrifically exciting start to the season on BT Sport in the Barclays Premier League. BT Sport will be broadcasting matches featuring last season’s top four six times during the Premier League’s opening stages, and they’ll also be seen exclusively live on BT Sport Europe as the European campaign begins.”
