"Manchester United will go two months without playing a match on a Saturday. Following November's international break, United will not play any of their next 10 Premier League fixtures on a Saturday - for a number of reasons. From those matches, which take United up to the FA Cup third round weekend of 10-11 January, Ruben Amorim's side will play three Monday night matches, three Sunday games, three midweek matches and once on a Friday night."
"Among those fixtures there are also some early kick-off times. United face Crystal Palace at 12:00 GMT on a Sunday at the end of November, before starting their 2026 fixture list with a Sunday trip to Leeds for a 12:30 start. Their last Saturday game was their 2-2 draw with Tottenham on Saturday, 8 November. United's next scheduled match on a Saturday is on 17 January against Manchester City. However, the television picks for that weekend are yet to be announced."
Manchester United will not play any Saturday matches across their next ten Premier League fixtures following November's international break, extending until the FA Cup third round weekend of 10-11 January. The run includes three Monday night fixtures, three Sunday games, three midweek matches and one Friday night game, with some early kick-offs such as 12:00 GMT at Crystal Palace and 12:30 at Leeds. Scheduling and broadcast selections determined the run; matches chosen as Monday night TV picks, two moved from Saturday by TNT Sports because opponents had midweek European or Premier League games, and the Premier League avoids teams playing twice within 60 hours.
