Premier League Table 2026/27: Latest Standings, Results & Fixtures

The 2026/27 Premier League season kicked off on Friday 21 August, and the first round is not finished yet. That matters more than it sounds, because a league table read halfway through a gameweek is not really a league table.

Here is where it stands, taken from the Premier League’s own feed at a single moment, along with the results so far and everything scheduled next.

What does the Premier League table look like right now?

As of 15:44 on 23 August 2026 BST. At that moment six of the ten matches had finished, two were still being played and two had not kicked off. Clubs marked with an asterisk have not completed a match, so their nought points mean nothing at all yet.

* Eight clubs have not completed a match yet: Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brighton, Chelsea, Fulham, Liverpool, Man City and Newcastle. They are on nought points because they have not played, not because they lost.

The W-D-L column reads wins, draws then losses. Goal difference is doing all the work at the top. With one match played, beating someone 3–0 puts a club above a club that won 1–0, which is exactly as meaningful as it sounds.

Why does the table look different on different sites?

Because they disagree about what counts as played. The Premier League’s own standings include a match only once it is complete. Some other tables update as matches go, so a side leading at half-time is already sitting in the table with three points and a goal difference.

Neither approach is a mistake — they are answering slightly different questions. But it means that during a Saturday or Sunday afternoon you can open two reputable sites and see a different club top, with neither of them wrong. If you want to compare a table with one you saw earlier, check what the two are counting before concluding anything has changed.

This page uses the official convention: completed matches only, with everything else listed separately below.

What were the Gameweek 1 results?

Six of the ten opening-round matches have finished. These are the completed results, in the order they were played.

Which Gameweek 1 matches are still to play?

The round does not finish until Monday night. Until then the table above is provisional in the strict sense — there are points still on the board that nobody has yet.

In progress at the time above. These scores are not final.

Still to kick off.

What are the Gameweek 2 fixtures?

Gameweek 2 runs from Friday 28 August to Monday 31 August. All times are British Summer Time, as published by the Premier League.

Two of those stand out. Aston Villa host the champions Arsenal on the Monday night to close the round, and Coventry City v Hull City is the first meeting of two of the three promoted clubs.

How have the promoted clubs started?

Better than promoted clubs usually do. Two of the three won on the opening weekend, and one of those wins was the result of the round.

Hull City beat Manchester United by two goals at home in their first match back in the top flight, in a Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Coventry’s defeat came away at the reigning champions on the opening night, which is the hardest possible draw.

It is worth saying plainly that this proves nothing about survival. Opening-day results for promoted clubs are famously poor predictors, and all three have thirty-seven matches left.

Does the Premier League table mean anything after one round?

Almost nothing, and the reason is arithmetic rather than caution. After one match, a club’s entire record is a single result. There is no form, no run of fixtures to compare, and the ordering between clubs on the same points is decided by a goal difference that a single deflection could have changed.

What the table can tell you at this stage is narrow but real: who has and has not won, and who has conceded heavily. What it cannot tell you is anything about the season’s shape. Two clubs level on three points may have played opponents of wildly different quality, and nothing in the standings adjusts for that.

The useful moment is a few rounds away. Until every club has played the same number of matches — which will not be true again until Monday night — the column that matters most is the one headed P.

When does the 2026/27 season finish, and where can you watch it?

Sunday 30 May 2027, with every match on the final day kicking off simultaneously. The season runs across 33 weekends and five midweek rounds, and it started a week later than the previous one to leave a gap after the World Cup final.

For the broadcast side — which matches are on Sky, which are on TNT, and why a large number of games are shown live by nobody in the UK — we have a separate guide to watching the Premier League in the UK this season .
