Seven Huge Football Fixtures You Cannot Miss This September

With the Premier League gathering momentum, the UEFA Champions League getting underway and the Carabao Cup producing an early heavyweight meeting at Anfield now is the perfect time to secure your place at some of the season’s biggest fixtures.

It also comes immediately after another extraordinary summer transfer window. Premier League clubs spent approximately £3.46bn on new players, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur among the sides reshaping their squads ahead of campaigns with major ambitions.

For supporters looking to experience some of September’s biggest matches in style, Eventmasters offers a range of football hospitality packages at the Emirates Stadium, Villa Park, Anfield and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. From a huge London derby and Liverpool’s return to Champions League action to several fascinating Premier League contests, September provides plenty of opportunities to combine top-level football with VIP hospitality.

Here are seven games you cannot miss this September.

Arsenal v Chelsea – Sunday 6th September, 16:30

September begins with one of English football’s biggest London derbies as reigning Premier League champions Arsenal welcome Chelsea to the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s side enter the new campaign attempting to defend the title they won in 2025/26, and their summer business has reinforced a squad already accustomed to challenging at the top of the table. Bruno Guimaraes arrived from Newcastle United to strengthen an already formidable midfield, while Christos Tzolis offers another attacking option and Ezri Konsa adds further Premier League experience to the defence.

Chelsea have been equally active. Morgan Rogers made the move from Aston Villa as part of another major summer of recruitment at Stamford Bridge, with Maxence Lacroix and World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez also among the additions.

Cannon Club hospitality with Eventmasters offers supporters the opportunity to enjoy this London derby from premium surroundings at one of the Premier League’s leading venues.

Liverpool v Atletico Madrid – Wednesday 9th September, 20:00

Champions League nights return to Anfield on Wednesday 9th September, and Liverpool could scarcely have been handed a more eye-catching first home fixture than Atletico Madrid.

The Reds are beginning a new era under Andoni Iraola, who arrived at Anfield this summer following three successful seasons with Bournemouth. Liverpool have also made significant changes to their squad, including the loan arrival of Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo and the headline addition of France international Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.

Atletico arrive with plenty of familiar faces of their own. Former Spurs captain Cristian Romero completed a summer move to Diego Simeone’s side, while Kang-in Lee joined from PSG and Canadian striker Jonathan David arrived on loan from Juventus on Deadline Day.

Liverpool and Atletico have produced memorable European encounters in the past, and the Spanish side’s experience of high-pressure Champions League football makes this a major opening test for Iraola’s new-look Reds.

It is also one of the standout Liverpool hospitality opportunities of the opening months of the season, giving guests the chance to experience a Champions League night under the Anfield lights with premium seating and hospitality.

Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest – Saturday 12th September, 15:00

Villa Park stages the one of three fixtures on Saturday 12th September as Aston Villa welcome Nottingham Forest to the West Midlands.

Villa’s transfer window brought considerable change to Unai Emery’s squad. Nicolas Jackson and Leon Goretzka were joined by Deadline Day arrivals Ibrahim Mbaye and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, with Villa looking to maintain their place among the Premier League’s leading clubs while competing in the Champions League. Ollie Watkins and Emi Martinez were among the significant departures during a busy end to the window.

Forest represent an intriguing early-season opponent. Oliver Glasner took charge during the summer, inheriting a squad containing the likes of Morgan Gibbs-White, Murillo, Dan Ndoye and Arnaud Kalimuendo. Their meeting with Villa brings together two clubs that have established themselves as significant forces beyond the Premier League’s traditional heavyweights in recent seasons.

The fixture also provides another chance to experience Premier League football at Villa Park with Eventmasters hospitality, combining match seating with a selection of VIP options for one of Villa’s first home fixtures of the new campaign.

Liverpool v Fulham – Saturday 12th September, 15:00

Liverpool are back at Anfield just three days after facing Atletico Madrid when Fulham travel north for a Premier League meeting.

It makes for an interesting test of the depth available to Iraola. Liverpool have strengthened with Barcola and Araujo while also adding Victor Munoz, but a busy September schedule means the entire squad could be required as domestic and European commitments begin to overlap.

Fulham have made additions of their own, including Hugo Larsson from Eintracht Frankfurt on Deadline Day, as they continue looking to build a squad capable of competing consistently in the top half of the Premier League.

Anfield remains one of English football’s most sought-after matchday destinations, and Liverpool v Fulham provides another opportunity to experience the stadium with Eventmasters hospitality before attention quickly switches to cup football.

Tottenham Hotspur v Everton – Saturday 12th September, 17:30

The final fixture on our list for a packed Saturday sees Spurs welcome Everton to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a 17:30 kick-off.

Few Premier League clubs changed as much during the summer as Tottenham. Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Sávio were among the major permanent additions, while Omar Marmoush joined on loan from Manchester City with an obligation to buy. Deadline Day then brought another double move from Chelsea, with Mykhailo Mudryk arriving on loan and Tosin Adarabioyo completing a permanent switch.

The scale of that investment gives Roberto De Zerbi a very different squad to work with as Spurs attempt to move forward after two difficult domestic seasons.

Everton also arrive following a summer of change, with Christian Norgaard among their additions, while Iliman Ndiaye departed for Manchester City. The Toffees will provide another physical Premier League examination for Tottenham’s new-look side.

With a Saturday evening kick-off at one of the country’s most modern stadiums, Spurs v Everton is well suited to a hospitality matchday. Eventmasters offers Tottenham Hotspur hospitality packages that allow guests to enjoy premium seating alongside a range of pre-match and post-match facilities.

Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur – Tuesday 15th September, 20:00 – Carabao Cup

Just three days later, two of the Premier League’s biggest clubs meet at Anfield with a place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup at stake.

Liverpool v Tottenham is comfortably one of the most attractive ties produced by the third-round draw, particularly given the extensive changes made by both clubs during the transfer window.

For Liverpool, it provides another major early test for Iraola and his new-look squad. For Spurs, it represents an opportunity to make progress in a competition that offers one of the clearest routes to domestic silverware.

The scheduling adds another dimension. Liverpool will have already faced Atletico Madrid and Fulham at Anfield during the previous six days, while Tottenham travel to Merseyside after their league meeting with Everton.

The tie was moved to Tuesday 15th September because of scheduling clashes and will kick off at 20:00.

A heavyweight cup tie under the Anfield lights should provide an excellent atmosphere, while Liverpool hospitality with Eventmasters offers a premium way to experience the occasion.

Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa – Saturday 19th September, 12:30

Our September selection concludes with another fascinating Premier League meeting as Tottenham welcome Aston Villa to north London.

Spurs’ huge summer overhaul has transformed De Zerbi’s options, particularly in attack, where Sávio, Marmoush and Mudryk have added further pace and creativity.

Villa’s recruitment has been substantial too. Goretzka adds elite-level experience in midfield, Jackson brings Premier League experience to the attack and the arrivals of Mbaye, Harwood-Bellis and several others have helped reshape Emery’s squad following a number of high-profile departures.

Both sides have substantial ambitions for 2026/27, making this an intriguing early-season measure of how quickly their new-look squads have settled.

The match has been selected for television coverage and will kick off at 12:30 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Eventmasters Tottenham hospitality packages provide the opportunity to experience Spurs v Aston Villa with premium seating and access to some of the outstanding hospitality facilities within Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
