The Premier League match between Burnley Football Club and the EPL champions Liverpool FC is now being shunted around. It turns out that EFL Champions Burnley was scheduled to play against the Reds on Saturday, 13 Sept 2025, and it’s now scheduled to take place on Sunday, 14 Sept 2025 and will be played at Turf Moor, kick-off 14:00 BST (18:30 IST). The match itself will be shown live on Sky Sports, in the Super Sunday Broadcast.
Burnley FC, Liverpool FC, the Premier League and their broadcast partner Sky Sports have announced that the match will be played on the new date. This was part of the latest announcement of televised fixtures on 23 July 2025, by the Premier League, considering recent broadcast adjustments and poor attendances this past season.
Official Confirmation from Clubs and League
“ Our fixture against Liverpool at Turf Moor has now been moved to Sunday 14th September, KO 14:00 (BST).”: Burnley FC (website)
“Liverpool FC confirmed the change on their website, stating: “Burnley v Liverpool: Sunday September 14 (2 PM BST: Live on Sky Sports) ”
The Premier League included this agenda item in their broadcast announcement, confirming the new date and time as part of the latest Premier League suggested September TV picks.
These announcements follow the Sky Sports scheduling plan to provide the highest profile matches on Sundays. The new fixture fits well with their belief, as this is now a consecutive double header with the Manchester City vs Manchester United derby later that same day.

Why Was the Match Rescheduled?
1. Sky Sports Broadcast Selection
British Sky Sports is the main UK broadcaster of the Premier League. Three matches are played on a Saturday at 15.00(03:00); these can never be televised live in the UK. The Sunday choice allowed Sky Sports to show the full national coverage of the Burnley vs Liverpool encounter by showing it as part of their Super Sunday segment.
2. Fixture Management and the First International Break
This fixture is after the first international break of the season. Shifting the fixture to Sunday gave both teams, especially Liverpool, owing to their greater international and European commitment, an additional recovery and prep time before their next fixtures.
3. The Champions League
If Liverpool were to remain in the UEFA Champions League, it might have a direct bearing on any next fixture, primarily their derby fixture, with a specific example of the Merseyside Derby. This simply demonstrates the importance of scheduling, and the need for spacing domestic fixtures sensibly for planning, both for the broadcasting company and the club.
