Seagulls Fly Into Turf Moor For Season Opener

Burnley will kick off their 2021/22 Premier League season at home to Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Seagulls, who finished last season one place ahead of the Clarets in the table, will travel to Turf Moor on Saturday, August 14, subject to broadcaster demands.

Sean Dyche’s men travel to Liverpool a week later for the opening away game, looking for a repeat last season’s historic win at Anfield.

And after hosting Leeds United a week later, Burnley then travel to Everton, where they completed a superb Merseyside double last season.

Newly-promoted sides Norwich City and Brentford both arrive at Turf Moor early in the campaign, on October 2 and 30th respectively.

The Christmas schedule sees Burnley host Everton on Boxing Day, following by a trip to Manchester United on December 28th.

New Year’s Day takes Burnley to Leeds United for a tasty roses clash, while this year, the weekend of Saturday, 29 January 2022 forms part of the FIFA International Match Calendar, and as such, no Premier League matches will take place.

There is a new ground to take in when the Clarets travel to Championship play-off winners Brentford on Saturday, March 12.

Burnley host Manchester United and Liverpool in the space of five days, on Tuesday February 8 and Saturday February 12, while Easter weekend brings a trip to West Ham United, scheduled for Saturday, April 16.

Burnley end the season with a trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, May 15 - scheduled to avoid a clash with the FA Cup Final the previous day - followed by a final day home clash with Newcastle United on Sunday, May 22.
