The FA Cup Final Priority: There are no Premier League matches scheduled for today (Saturday, May 16) because of the FA Cup final. The top-flight calendar is traditionally cleared for this day to allow the historic cup final to take absolute centre stage.
The Finalists in Action: Chelsea and Manchester City are competing in the FA Cup final for the season's second piece of major domestic silverware. Because they are playing at Wembley, they cannot play league fixtures.
Early Friday Kick-off: The matchweek actually got underway a day early on Friday, May 15. Fans were treated to a major Friday night clash between Aston Villa and Liverpool, representing the penultimate game of the season for both clubs.
A Packed Sunday Schedule: Premier League action returns in full force on Sunday, May 17, with six matches. It kicks off at 12:30 PM with Manchester United vs. Nottingham Forest, followed by four traditional 3:00 PM fixtures and a West Ham vs. Newcastle evening clash.
Midweek Fixtures Extend the Round: The remaining fixtures of Matchweek 37 bleed into the following week. Arsenal hosts Burnley on Monday night, followed by Tuesday games featuring Bournemouth against Manchester City and a crucial London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham.
Season Climax Alignment: Shifting these fixtures ensures a smooth transition into the final day of the 2025-26 season. Spreading Matchweek 37 across weekdays allows all twenty clubs to play their ultimate matches simultaneously on Sunday, May 24.
