Premier League fixture list: how it works Before the computer has compiled the list for the season, the schedule must consider a variety of potential stumbling blocks including policing, events in cities and the pairing of clubs in nearby locations. After a lengthy process in which the games are drafted, League schedulers then hold talks with the Fixtures Working Party, which is made up of representatives from clubs across the Leagues and from supporters' organisations. Fixtures can only be set once dates for other competitions have been confirmed, eg the FA Cup, Uefa Champions League and Uefa Europa League, and these considerations can make it difficult to find slots for some games. In addition , there are exceptions when clubs or local authorities make specific requests if, for example, a major event is being held in the city on that day and a police force requests that a club has an away fixture. For these reasons fixture dates can change throughout the season. After the dates are agreed, the many TV broadcasters - which now include BT Sport - decide on their games for broadcast.
