Premier League 2023-24 ‘fixtures leaked online’ but turns out to be a bluff

Crystal Palace and Arsenal played the opening match last season

Through social media, a picture purporting to represent the first round of Premier League matches for the 2023–24 season was posted, but it appears to be a scam.

The 'leak' claims Luton will play Liverpool; however, due to continuing construction, Kenilworth Road won't be ready to host a Premier League game until September. To be compliant with Premier League standards, the Hatters facility has to be renovated.

The formal announcement of the 2023–24 Premier League schedule will take place on June 15 at 9 AM (UK time). Fans of all 20 clubs, especially those of the promotion trio of Luton, Sheffield United, and Burnley, should expect a thrilling morning.

On Wednesday, a picture of the opening round of matches surfaced on social media, driving fans into a frenzy. Observant fans, however, think it is a scam after viewing the Luton vs. Liverpool matchup, which is not expected to happen until later in the season.

A decade ago, non-league football was played at Kenilworth Road; now, thanks to Luton's quick ascent through the league, the venue will host teams like Manchester United and Chelsea. The famous stadium can accommodate just over 10,000 spectators.

Beginning on August 12, a new Premier League campaign will begin. On May 19, 2024, the campaign will come to an end.

The Hatters want to play "maybe two or three" of their first Premier League fixtures away from home to improve Kenilworth Road. The ground's media and other facilities need to be renovated, with work expected to be completed by the end of August.

The Hatters intend to enhance Kenilworth Road by playing "maybe two or three" of their opening Premier League games away from home. Renovating the ground's media and other infrastructure is necessary, and work is anticipated to be finished by the end of August.

It will mark the return to a "normal" schedule after the disruptions brought on by the COVID epidemic and the World Cup in Qatar during the 2018–19 season.
