The first useful fact this week is a correction: the Premier League does not begin on 15 August, Serie A does not begin on 17 August, and the Bundesliga waits until 28 August. The World Cup pushed the domestic calendar later. We rebuilt the live board from official league and UEFA schedules rather than carrying an early projection forward.
Monday 17 August
MLS supplies the early Moscow-morning games: Austin FC–FC Dallas (03:30 MSK) and Seattle–Vancouver (05:30). The European evening is Deportivo–Elche at 22:00 MSK.
Tuesday and Wednesday: Champions League play-offs
Seven first legs decide the final league-phase places. Tuesday has Levski–AEK, Dinamo Zagreb–Viking and Fenerbahçe–Lyon. Wednesday brings Hapoel Beer-Sheva–Sabah, Celtic–LASK, Slovan Bratislava–Celje and N.E.C.–Bodø/Glimt. The European kickoffs are 22:00 MSK. Atlético–Málaga shares Wednesday evening; Philadelphia–Inter Miami and Cincinnati–NYCFC follow early Thursday in Moscow.
Friday to Monday: the domestic leagues arrive
Arsenal–Coventry opens the Premier League on Friday 21 August at 22:00 MSK. Saturday and Sunday carry the rest of England’s first round. Serie A begins Saturday with Inter–Monza, Udinese–Como, Genoa–Napoli and Parma–Cagliari. Its round closes Monday with Bologna–Lazio and Roma–Fiorentina.
How to use this page
The article is context, not a second fixture database. For late changes, use Today, Now and the league hubs. The board converts UTC to Moscow time and moves a match into Now at kickoff. Fixtures remain subject to broadcaster and competition changes.
