The Premier League have confirmed a number of changes to the early weeks of the 2023/24 fixture schedule.

Burnley's clash with Manchester City remains the opening game of the new season, with the changes made affecting weeks two to seven.

They have been made to accommodate television scheduling and provide greater balance for those competing in European competition - particularly those competing in the Europa League or Conference League on a Thursday night.
