The Premier League will start with a series of strong opponents, Arsenal fans complain: The schedule is definitely manipulated

June 19th, the Premier League schedule for the 2025-26 season has been released, and Arsenal will face multiple strong opponents at the beginning. In the first round of the new season, Arsenal will face Manchester United and then face the newly promoted Leeds United at home. On August 30, they will go to the away game to challenge defending champion Liverpool. After the international match day, Arsenal will also face Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle.

Several fans complained about Arsenal's schedule for the new season. One fan wrote: The league is trying to be bad for us. Another fan wrote: This league has been manipulated. Some fans echoed: These schedules are definitely manipulated. Some people even bluntly said: No one would say that such a schedule is not manipulated.

Although fans expressed dissatisfaction with the schedule, there was no evidence to support their claims. Arsenal's tough schedule at the beginning of the season will be alleviated at the end of the season, with their last four games against Fulham (home), West Ham United (away), Burnley (home) and Crystal Palace (away).
