The Premier League title race is hanging by the finest of threads, and the final midweek round of the 2025/26 season is about to crank the tension up to an almost unbearable level. With Arsenal fighting for a first league title in 22 years and Manchester City refusing to give up the chase, every single match across these midweek fixtures carries enormous meaning. Here is your complete guide to the full schedule, kick-off times, and exactly how to watch every match live from anywhere in the world.
Why This Midweek Round Is Unlike Any Other
The 2025/26 Premier League season was built around five midweek rounds of fixtures, carefully slotted around European and domestic cup commitments. This final midweek slate arrives at the most dramatic possible moment in the campaign. Arsenal sit at the top of the table on 76 points with three games left to play. Manchester City, having drawn 3-3 at Everton in a match they were winning late, have handed the Gunners a genuine opportunity to wrap up the title with victories over their remaining opponents. The maths is simple. The pressure is enormous. The football is absolutely not to be missed.
The Full Fixture List and Kick-Off Times
The midweek round falls across Monday May 11 through Wednesday May 13, with games spread across multiple evenings to accommodate broadcasters across the UK and around the world. Here is the full breakdown of confirmed fixtures for this round.
Monday 11 May sees Tottenham Hotspur host Leeds United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a London venue that has endured a turbulent season under new manager Roberto De Zerbi. Both clubs will be competing with an eye on final standings and next season’s positioning.
Tuesday 12 May brings a series of huge clashes across the league. Arsenal host Burnley at the Emirates Stadium in a fixture that could define the entire title race. A Gunners win would move them within touching distance of the crown. West Ham United take on Chelsea in a London derby that carries European qualification implications for both sides. Nottingham Forest welcome Liverpool to the City Ground in what promises to be an electric atmosphere at one of English football’s most iconic stadiums.
Wednesday 13 May closes the midweek round with Manchester City hosting Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium. This is the match that City absolutely cannot afford to drop. Any slip here would hand Arsenal an even more commanding grip on the title. Bournemouth vs Brighton at the Vitality Stadium and Leicester vs Brentford complete the midweek programme.
Most matches kick off at 19:45 BST with selected fixtures moved to 20:00 BST for UK broadcast purposes.
