Arsenal have seen five Premier League games moved due to the announcement of the TV schedules selected by BT Sport and Sky Sports today, with a number of Arsenal games taking centre-stage.
The Gunners kick-off their campaign with a London derby against West Ham United, which has been moved to a 1:30pm kick-off on Sunday 9th August.
Arsenal will play two consecutive Sunday afternoon games with their match against Crystal Palace the following weekend being selected for the same time on Sunday 16th August.
Arsene Wenger’s side will then host Liverpool in their first Monday evening game of the season, which will be played at 8pm on the 24th August.
The Gunners will then play their first Saturday game on 29th August away at Newcastle United, meaning they will not play at the standard 3pm Saturday spot until their fifth game of the Premier League campaign on 12th September.
Arsenal’s final fixture selected is the 19th September meeting against London rivals Chelsea, which will be played at 12:45pm, and means that five of Arsenal’s first six Premier League games will be broadcast live in England.
This also means that Arsenal’s first eight games in all competitions will see seven of those live on TV, with the Community Shield final against Chelsea on Sunday 2nd August and Arsenal’s first Champions League group match on the 15/16th September also televised.
