The Premier League schedule and fixtures are created meticulously considering TV broadcast agreements, club preferences, stadium availability, and travel issues. A fixture computer generates random matchups while considering travel, local events, and holidays such as Boxing Day. The schedule of Premier League matches is revealed in mid-June, giving clubs, fans, and broadcasters plenty of time to prepare.
