When Do Premier League Tickets Go on Sale in 2026/27?

Premier League tickets generally go on sale between two and seven weeks before a match, although some clubs release tickets much earlier, sometimes months in advance.

Fans of Premier League sides eagerly await the dates when tickets go on sale for their clubs. However, some are confused by exactly when these are. And no wonder, because it's a surprisingly complicated process.

Believe it or not, no two clubs in the Premier League sell their tickets in quite the same way. Some release tickets match by match, others group fixtures into batches, while clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea use ballots or application windows rather than conventional ticket sales.

In this article, we'll break down when Premier League tickets go on sale for all 20 clubs in 2026/27, and explore further opportunities to secure seats through general sale and club ticket exchanges.

Premier League On-Sale Dates: A Complete Table

The table below shows when tickets for all 20 Premier League clubs first become available, along with whether membership is required and the likelihood of general sale.

For consistency, we're using the first official opportunity for eligible supporters to buy or apply for a home match ticket. This includes membership ballots, which can open several days before tickets are allocated.

Hull City operates a season-pass and membership subscription system, with eligibility also influenced by purchase history.

These timings reflect official 2026/27 announcements and observed sales up to October 2026. They are approximate where clubs don't publish a complete season-long calendar, and general-sale availability varies by fixture.

The differences can be remarkable. For example, Coventry City released tickets for their home match against Fulham just 16 days before kick-off, while Tottenham's published schedule gives One Hotspur+ Members their first opportunity to buy Manchester City tickets 86 days before the game.

Similarly, Brighton released tickets for two November home fixtures on the same day in September, even though one match was scheduled 45 days later and the other 66 days later.

So let's look at what makes each club's ticketing timetable different.

When Does Each Premier League Club Release Tickets?

Arsenal ticket on-sale timeline

For matches at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal tickets go on sale via ballots, with Red Member applications generally opening between four and six weeks before the fixture. Silver Members get an earlier ballot, sometimes approximately two months before kick-off, meaning the initial release date depends on which membership tier you hold.

Aston Villa ticket sales dates

Online sales for Aston Villa members generally begin between three and four weeks before a Premier League fixture at Villa Park. If demand is low enough and the match doesn't sell out, tickets can reach general sale during a subsequent window, usually closer to kick-off.

When do Bournemouth tickets go on sale?

Tickets for AFC Bournemouth matches generally go on sale around five to seven weeks before the fixture. Although the Cherries don't operate a conventional paid membership scheme for home league tickets, fans need to accumulate Home Points to qualify, with access opening to supporters on progressively lower totals.

Brentford on-sale timeline for tickets

Members can generally buy Brentford tickets between five and seven weeks before the match at Gtech Community Stadium. Initially, tickets may be restricted to supporters with the highest Ticket Access Points (TAPs), although the requirements vary by fixture and some matches are open to all eligible members.

Brighton & Hove Albion ticket on-sale dates

Matches at the Amex generally go on sale to MyAlbion+ Members between six and ten weeks before the game. Brighton frequently release multiple fixtures on the same day, meaning supporters can buy tickets for one match considerably earlier than another.

Chelsea ticket sales timeline

Chelsea home tickets generally become available around six weeks before the match. For 2026/27, members apply during a designated window rather than buying on a first-come, first-served basis, with tickets allocated once applications close.

Coventry City ticket sales dates

Coventry City tickets generally become available around two to four weeks before a Premier League fixture at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Recent releases have included several home matches together, with Sky Blues Members receiving priority before any wider sale, which may depend on purchase history.

When do Crystal Palace tickets go on sale?

Eagles fans can buy tickets for matches at Selhurst Park approximately four to nine weeks before kick-off. Crystal Palace group fixtures into sales windows, with Gold Members and Season Ticket+ holders receiving a 72-hour priority period before other eligible supporters.

Everton ticket on-sale timeline

Everton tickets for matches at Hill Dickinson Stadium are generally released around four weeks before kick-off, beginning with a ballot for Forever Blue+ Members. Any remaining seats can then become available to ordinary Forever Blue Members through a later purchasing window.

We cover the process in more depth in our blog about when Everton tickets go on sale. 

Fulham ticket sales dates

Members can buy Fulham tickets for matches at Craven Cottage as early as five weeks before each fixture. For some matches, the initial sales window can be as small as three weeks, with tickets occasionally reaching general sale around one to two weeks before kick-off.

Hull City ticket sales dates

Hull City tickets generally become available around three and a half to six weeks before Premier League fixtures, judging by the opening months of 2026/27. Initial eligibility varies according to the match, with season-pass arrangements and previous purchase history affecting who can buy during priority windows.

Ipswich Town ticket sales timeline

Ipswich Town home tickets generally go on sale around four to five weeks before the fixture at Portman Road, beginning with a member ballot. Priority in the first ballot goes to qualifying supporters who held memberships in both 2025/26 and 2026/27, with successful applicants given a subsequent purchasing window.

When do Leeds United tickets go on sale?

At Elland Road, ticket sales typically begin around two to three weeks before a Premier League fixture. My Leeds Priority Members receive the first opportunity to buy, followed by an attendance-based ballot and a general members' ballot, with the club normally announcing each phase together.

Liverpool ticket sales timeline

Tickets for Liverpool matches at Anfield initially become available in July and November, through bulk sales covering the first and second halves of the season. Closer to each fixture, additional member sales and local ballots offer further opportunities, sometimes just one or two weeks before kick-off.

We go into more detail in our article on when Liverpool tickets go on sale.

When do Manchester City tickets go on sale?

Manchester City initially released tickets for all 19 Premier League home fixtures on 21 July 2026, before the season began. However, tickets for the later home matches were subsequently withdrawn from sale pending further releases, meaning supporters may need to wait for another window even when a fixture has technically gone on sale.

Manchester United ticket on-sale timeline

For Manchester United matches at Old Trafford, many tickets become available to Man United members in batches before the season begins. Further ticket drops and ballots take place throughout the campaign, with high-demand matches often handled through separate applications rather than one consistent on-sale timetable.

Newcastle United ticket sales dates

The Magpies run Mags Member ballots for matches at St James' Park, generally opening around four to five weeks before kick-off. Successful applicants receive an opportunity to select and purchase their seats, with additional member sales sometimes following the initial ballot.

When do Nottingham Forest tickets go on sale?

Nottingham Forest tickets generally become available to members between three and five weeks before the match at the City Ground. The club staggers access according to MyForest membership tiers, with priority sales followed by further purchasing opportunities and member ballots.

Sunderland ticket on-sale timeline

Home tickets for Sunderland matches at the Stadium of Light are released through Black Cats membership ballots, generally opening three to four weeks before the fixture. Supporters enter during the advertised application window, with any remaining tickets made available through general sale closer to kick-off.

Tottenham Hotspur ticket sales timeline

Spurs release their home tickets in seven batches throughout the season, generally between six and twelve weeks before a match. Each release covers multiple fixtures, with One Hotspur+ Members receiving a 24-hour priority period ahead of ordinary One Hotspur Members.

Other Factors That Affect When Premier League Tickets Go on Sale

Now, you may notice that many Premier League clubs have various membership tiers, affecting how early you can buy tickets for matches.

In some cases, like Crystal Palace Gold Membership or Everton's Forever Blue+, it is possible to pay more for priority access.

However, other advanced membership tiers are only available to established supporters, or those who qualify through previous attendance or long-term membership.

Take Arsenal's Silver Membership, offering an exclusive ballot ahead of Red Members, or MyForest Pro Membership at Nottingham Forest, giving supporters priority over other members.

Leeds United's My Leeds Priority scheme operates along similar lines, rewarding supporters with a long history of membership.

The other factor affecting ticket access is loyalty points. Chelsea, Liverpool (Match Credits), Bournemouth (Home Points) and Brentford (Ticket Access Points) are just a few Premier League clubs that limit access to certain matches depending on a supporter's previous ticket purchases or attendance.

This also explains why a published ticket-release date doesn't necessarily mean every member can buy a seat immediately.

There are three different stages to consider: 

The first member sale or ballot, the date tickets are allocated or purchased, and any subsequent releases or general-sale windows.

At clubs with ballots, the first two stages can be several days apart. Elsewhere, supporters with the highest loyalty totals may have purchased their tickets before those with lower totals become eligible.

So it's important to check not just when a particular fixture goes on sale, but which supporters qualify for that opening window.

Premier League Ticket Exchanges

The good news is that the initial sales window or ballot may not be the end of the road for buying tickets through your club.

Another method of securing Premier League tickets is through club ticket exchanges. You might be wondering what these are. Well, they're essentially an official resale market for fans of each club, whereby ticket holders, usually season ticket holders, can make their seats available to other eligible supporters before a match.

So when do these tickets go on sale?

In general, a ticket exchange becomes available once a fixture has sold out, although the timing varies between clubs. Some open their exchange earlier, while others release returned seats through designated purchasing windows.

Tickets can appear at almost any point before a match, sometimes within the final days or hours before kick-off, depending on the club's cut-off time.

Be warned, though, tickets on exchanges may be snapped up almost immediately, so you'll have to be quick and check back often.

Stipulations also apply. With the Arsenal ticket exchange, for example, members normally need to have entered and been unsuccessful in the original ballot to access the exchange initially. At Leeds United, higher membership tiers receive priority access to returned tickets.

For supporters who miss the original release, checking the official exchange is well worth considering.

When Do Premier League Tickets Go on Sale? | Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance do Premier League tickets go on sale?

It depends on the team, as all Premier League clubs sell tickets in a different way.

Most clubs that release home tickets match by match open their first member sales or ballots between two and seven weeks before kick-off.

Club by club, this timeframe can vary from several months, for teams like Liverpool and Manchester City, to around two weeks in some Leeds United and Coventry City sales.

What time do Premier League tickets go on sale?

There isn't a standard time across the Premier League. Many clubs open their ticketing windows in the morning, often at 9am or 10am, but the precise time depends on the team and the fixture.

For example, Tottenham's One Hotspur+ sales generally open at 10am on Mondays, followed by ordinary One Hotspur sales at 10am on Tuesdays.

For ballot-based sales, submitting an application immediately is generally less important than entering before the closing deadline. Supporters should check the club's announcement for the exact opening time and eligibility requirements.

When do Premier League away matches go on sale?

Premier League away tickets typically go on sale approximately three to six weeks before each fixture, although the exact date varies considerably.

The visiting club manages its away ticket allocation, generally giving priority to season ticket holders and supporters who have attended away matches over several seasons.

Do Premier League tickets go on general sale?

Some matches reach general sale, particularly at clubs such as Fulham, Brighton, Aston Villa and Coventry City.

However, tickets for Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle United are much less likely to become available without a membership or other eligibility requirements.

A general sale may also require previous purchase history, so it doesn't necessarily mean anybody can buy tickets.
