Premier League Matchweek 3
All 10 fixtures, September 4, 2026
Matchweek 3 of the 2026-27 Premier League runs from Friday, September 4 through Sunday, September 6. All times are US Eastern.
Three things that define this round
- Arsenal vs Chelsea — Sunday, 11:30 AM ET at the Emirates. The pick of the round and an early marker in the title race.
- Three promoted clubs, three hard draws — Coventry, Hull and Ipswich all meet established sides in the same weekend.
- Manchester City vs Coventry — how City break down a deep block is a question that will recur all season. This is the first real test.
