Burnley handed another tough start as Scott Parker's side discover 2025/26 Premier League fixtures

The Clarets were forced to play Manchester City first time up last time they were in the top flight, before taking on the likes of Aston Villa, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea.

Vincent Kompany’s men lost their first three games, conceding 11 goals, before picking up their first point away to Nottingham Forest.

On this occasion, they will open their campaign with a trip to Scott Parker’s former side Spurs, which will be the first competitive game for their new boss Thomas Frank.

The Clarets then follow that up with a far more friendly affair in their first home game of the season, as they take on fellow newly-promoted side Sunderland.

Games against Manchester United, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Villa then follow.

Burnley have been handed a horrid long trek to Bournemouth five days before Christmas, before hosting Everton at Turf Moor in their festive game on Saturday, December 27.

The Clarets don’t make the return journey to the Toffees’ new Hill Dickinson Stadium until Wednesday, March 4.

Looking back to the festive period, Burnley are also at home on Tuesday, December 30 when they take on Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United, before kicking off 2026 with a trip to Brighton four days later.

Parker’s men end the season at home against Wolves after travelling to Arsenal the previous week in their final away day of the campaign.
