Key takeaways
- EPL, BPL and Premier League are names for the same competition, so EPL fixtures, BPL football fixtures and Premier League fixtures are one list.
- A Premier League season has 380 games: 20 clubs play each other home and away, 38 games each, from August to May.
- Kick-off times are shown in WAT for Nigeria, GMT for Ghana, SAST for South Africa and EAT for Kenya and Uganda.
- Dates and times move when broadcasters choose games for live television and when cup ties clash, so check the kick-off again in the days before a match.

EPL fixtures are the 380 games of the Premier League season, played from August to May by 20 clubs who meet each other home and away. The list above holds every game of this season, grouped by date. Each kick-off time is shown for Nigeria (WAT), Ghana (GMT), South Africa (SAST) and Kenya and Uganda (EAT), so no football or soccer fan has to convert from UK time.
Think of it as the departures board at the Lagos airport, where the destination stays put and the time is the part you check again before leaving the house. Some fans type e.p.l fixtures or ask for a BPL football match, while South African readers search for Premier League games. EPL, BPL and Premier League are one competition, so the same list answers every one of those searches.
How Do You Find Today's Games and the Weekend Fixtures?
The list is grouped by date, with the nearest dates first. Two filters do most of the work: choose a team to see only that club's Premier League fixtures, or choose a matchweek to see one full round of ten games. A finished game keeps its row and shows the score, which makes the list a quick check before you open the Premier League table. The full run of scores is kept on Premier League results.
How Do EPL League Fixtures Work, and Why Do Dates Change?
The league has had 20 clubs since 1995-96, and each one plays the other 19 at home and away, which gives 38 games per club. Why does a Premier League fixture move after it is published? Broadcasters choose which games they want for live television, so a game can shift to another day or a later kick-off. Cup ties and European nights push other games into midweek. Treat any date more than a few weeks ahead as pencilled in, and check the kick-off again in the days before.
Where Can You Watch EPL Matches Live in Your Country?
The league was broadcast in 212 territories in 2024-25, and the options in each of the five countries can include pay television, free to air channels, radio commentary and licensed streaming apps. The rights holder is not the same everywhere, so every matchweek carries a where to watch block for Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya and Uganda. The broadcaster's own schedule is the final check on the day. More than 1.4 billion people watched live games in 2024-25.
Are all 380 games live on television in Africa? That depends on where you are, because the games shown and the channel for each differ by country and by season. A fixture with no channel listed is one to follow by radio or live text. Kick-off times also move on the clock. Britain changes its clocks in late March and late October, while WAT, GMT, SAST and EAT stay fixed all year. The same English kick-off lands an hour later on African screens from late October to late March.
| Country | Time zone | Against UTC | Late October to late March (UK on winter time) | Late March to late October (UK on summer time) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghana | GMT | UTC+0 | Same time as the UK | 1 hour behind the UK |
| Nigeria | WAT | UTC+1 | 1 hour ahead of the UK | Same time as the UK |
| South Africa | SAST | UTC+2 | 2 hours ahead of the UK | 1 hour ahead of the UK |
| Kenya and Uganda | EAT | UTC+3 | 3 hours ahead of the UK | 2 hours ahead of the UK |
What Do the Table, 3 Points for a Win and Relegation Mean?
For anyone new to the league, every game on the fixture list feeds one league table (South African fans call it the log). A win earns 3 points, a draw earns 1 and the club with the most points at the end of the season is champion. The three lowest-placed clubs are relegated to the EFL Championship. That is why a late season game between clubs at either end of the table can shape the title race or who stays up.
How Do You Add the Fixtures to Your Phone Calendar and Find Postponed Games?
Use the add to calendar option on the fixture list to save one club's games to your phone calendar, where the times appear in your own time zone. A subscribed calendar updates when a game moves, which is its advantage over a screenshot. A postponed game stays in the list with a postponed label until a new date is confirmed, then appears under that date as rescheduled. The team filter is the fastest way to find it.
Which African Players Should You Watch in Each Game?
Under each matchweek sits a line on the African and Africa heritage players involved and the nation each one represents. The benchmark is Mohamed Salah of Egypt, who scored 32 goals in 2017-18, then a record for a season of 38 games, and was voted PFA Players' Player of the Year. Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast had scored 104 league goals for Chelsea by 2012. Ghana's Jordan Ayew made 305 appearances between 2015 and 2025, and Kenya's Victor Wanyama made 154 from 2013 to 2020. So, when a Super Eagles, Black Stars, Bafana Bafana, Harambee Stars or Cranes player is involved, read the fixture as a national team audition as well. For the goals and assists, open Premier League stats.
