Champions League fixtures and dates CONFIRMED as Man Utd start and end vs Bayern Munich and Arsenal have early KO at PSV


UEFA have released the dates and kick-off times for this season’s Champions League – which gets back underway later this month.

Europe’s elite club competition resumes on September 19th, with the return of Newcastle United following a 20-year absence from the tournament getting things underway.

Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Newcastle learned their fates for the tournament earlier this week, with the latter being handed a Group of Death.

And UEFA bigwigs have released the dates and timings for the Premier League quartets’ group stage matches.

Eddie Howe’s high-flying Newcastle get the tournament underway with a trip to the San Siro to face Italian giants AC Milan in the early kick-off at 5:45pm.

Defending champions Manchester City will also be in action a few hours later, welcoming FK Crvena Zvezda to the Etihad.

Arsenal, meanwhile, get their campaign underway the following night – welcoming PSV to the Emirates in an 8pm kick-off.

Manchester United face arguably the toughest of the opening fixtures on the same night, travelling to Bavaria to face German champions Bayern Munich.

The Prem teams will close out their group-stage campaigns on December 12 and 13th with the reverse fixtures of opening round.
