Introduction: Why Wolves Fixtures Matter This Season
Wolverhampton Wanderers find themselves in the midst of a critical Premier League campaign that could define their future. The 2025–26 season is the 148th season in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, and their eighth consecutive season in the Premier League. With the club battling relegation and seeking to turn around a difficult start, every fixture takes on heightened significance for supporters hoping to maintain their top-flight status.
Season Opening and Key Fixtures
Wolves will kick off their 2025/26 Premier League campaign at Molineux as Vitor Pereira’s side take on Manchester City in their opening fixture. The Molineux meet-up with City is set to take place at 5.30pm on Saturday 16th August, with the game broadcast live on Sky Sports, before Wolves travel to AFC Bournemouth the following weekend for their first away game of the season.
The Christmas period presents a challenging schedule, with Wolves head to Liverpool for a Boxing Day game at Anfield currently scheduled for Saturday 27th December, before staying in the north west to round out the calendar year, with a second match against Man United during the final month of 2025, this time at Old Trafford. Additionally, the first West Midlands derby of the season is set to take place during the weekend of 29th November at Villa Park.
Current Season Situation
The perfect start to 2026! | Wolves 3-0 West Ham provided much-needed relief for supporters. However, the club has experienced significant upheaval, with Vítor Pereira was sacked after less than a year in charge and a 36.84% win ratio as well as a winless start to the Premier League season, where he lost 8 out of 10 Premier League games, and drew 2. Ten days later, Rob Edwards was appointed as head coach from Middlesbrough.
The next Wolves game on TV is Everton v Wolves on Wednesday 7th January 2026 in the Premier League and the match kicks off at 7:30pm. Following this, Wolves entered the FA Cup in the third round, and were drawn at home to Shrewsbury Town.
Looking Ahead: Significance for Supporters
The fixture list represents more than just dates on a calendar for Wolves fans. Each match is a crucial opportunity to accumulate points and climb away from the relegation zone. With a new manager in Rob Edwards now at the helm, supporters will be scrutinising upcoming fixtures for potential turning points. All fixtures are still subject to change, with live televised fixtures yet to be decided. Any fixture changes will be announced on wolves.co.uk and across the club’s social media channels as soon as they are confirmed.
