Alright folks, today’s little adventure started because my buddy Dave was nagging me about some “super important” Arsenal match this weekend. Problem was, neither of us had a clue exactly when it was on. Total nightmare trying to plan anything! So yeah, I figured I’d finally sit down and figure out how to find the whole Premier League fixture list properly. Spoiler: it wasn’t as easy as I thought.
The Wild Goose Chase Begins
First thing I did? Jumped straight into Google. Typed something like “Premier League games all dates”. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Got bombarded with results. Some showed only next weekend’s matches. Others showed just Arsenal’s schedule. One site looked promising, clicked it… bam! Ads popping up everywhere like whack-a-moles. Couldn’t even see the dates behind them. Closed that tab faster than a cat dodging bath time.
Wrestling with Club Websites & Apps
Remembered my phone had the official Premier League app. Thought, “Easy win!” Opened it up. Felt slick. Found a section called “Matches”… clicked it. Boom! Shows me the current round, which was useful, but useless for finding, say, Chelsea vs Tottenham in bloody April! Poked around menus like “Tables”, “Stats”… nope, nada. Found a tiny “Fixtures” link tucked away. Tapped it. Started scrolling. And scrolling. And scrolling some more. Trying to find February fixtures felt like scrolling back through my own life regrets. Way too much effort.
Then, genius idea! Headed straight to Manchester United’s official website. Found their “Fixtures” page quick enough. Great! Instantly saw all their upcoming games. Perfect… if I only ever cared about United! Needed every team. Doing this 20 times? Yeah, no chance. Scratch that.
Lightbulb Moment & Actually Finding the Treasure
Sat back. Sighed loud enough to scare the dog. Felt stupid. Then, staring at the PL app homepage, noticed a tiny little calendar icon next to “Fixtures”. Hovered over it on the website later – same deal! Clicked it.
A beautiful little calendar popped up! Could finally:
- Click any month I wanted. February? Done.
- See every single match happening on every date.
- Click a date – bam! All the fixtures for that day listed clearly.
- No more endless scrolling like a digital zombie!
On the website, same magic. That hidden calendar button was my hero. Could jump instantly to October just to see the derbies coming up.
The Final Verdict
So, what’s the takeaway from my mild frustration session?
- Forget basic Google searches. Too messy.
- Avoid club-specific sites unless you want just one team.
- The key is finding that calendar view on the official Premier League app or website!
- Look for a tiny calendar icon usually tucked beside the “Fixtures” or “Matches” section heading.
- Use that! It saves you about five years of scrolling time.
Honestly, it seems daft now. The solution was right there all along, hiding in plain sight like my motivation on a Monday morning. Once you spot that calendar button though? Smooth sailing. Hopefully this saves some of you the same headache I had!
