Is There Any Premier League Match Today?
No. There is no English Premier League match today, Friday 16 October 2026. The league fixture list has nothing scheduled for Friday night this week, so anyone searching “who is playing match today Premier League” will find an empty slate until tomorrow lunchtime.
Quick context: the October international break has just finished. Matchweek 6 was played from 10 to 12 October, before the national teams took over, and club football now returns with a full ten-game round across three days.
If you want football tonight, other European leagues are running. You can follow those games on our live scores and fixtures page, which updates every morning and runs live scores through the day.

What Time Do Matchweek 7 Games Kick Off in Nigeria?
Every kick-off below is in West Africa Time (WAT), with UK time alongside. Right now the UK is on British Summer Time (UTC+1), which is the same offset as Lagos, so the two columns match exactly.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sat 17 Oct | Everton | Chelsea | 12:30 | 12:30 | Hill Dickinson Stadium |

Watch the clocks: the UK moves back to GMT on Sunday 25 October. From Matchweek 9 onwards, Premier League games will kick off one hour later in Nigeria than the UK time printed on British fixture lists. A 15:00 UK kick-off becomes 16:00 WAT, and we will update this page to show that.
Which Premier League Games Should You Watch This Weekend?
Four fixtures stand out in Matchweek 7.
- Everton v Chelsea (Sat, 12:30): fifth hosts sixth, and both sit on 10 points. Everton are unbeaten after six games but have drawn four. Chelsea arrive after a 5-1 thrashing of Bournemouth.
- Brentford v Liverpool (Sat, 15:00): Brentford are also unbeaten and sit fourth. Liverpool are ninth and need a response after losing 3-0 at home to Manchester City.
- Leeds United v Manchester United (Sun, 14:00): the Roses rivalry, with Leeds seventh and United only 13th on six points.
- Nottingham Forest v Arsenal (Sun, 16:30): the defending champions are three points behind City, and a slip at Forest would let the leaders pull clear.
