Premier League returns: BT Sport's post-World Cup TV schedule

The World Cup is dead, long live the Premier League!

Premier League football is back on our screens for the first time since its mid-season break with so many questions left to answer. 

Are high-flying Newcastle United the real deal? Can top-of-the-table Arsenal stay the course? And can Erik ten Hag restore the feel-good factor at Old Trafford?

With plenty of unfinished business left to settle, strap yourself in for a fascinating climax to the season.

BT Sport gets 2023 under way in style with live coverage of the Manchester derby for the first time ever in the first of two huge Premier League games on the channel in January.

Champions Man City will be keen to keep in touch with league leaders Arsenal after dropping points in the final gameweek before the mid-season break. 

The new year on BT Sport continues with another unmissable game as Liverpool play host to Graham Potter's Chelsea seven days later. 

Seven days later the BT Sport cameras make the short trip west to Anfield where Liverpool will be hoping to continue their recovery from an injury-plagued start to the season against Chelsea. 

Liverpool face an early test of their top-four ambitions just three weeks into 2023 as they entertain Graham Potter's Chelsea in a must-see midday encounter.

Just months after narrowly missing out on an unprecedented quadruple, Jurgen Klopp's side have struggled to reach the heights of last season. 

The Reds took four games to claim their first Premier League win and are still some way off their best as the mid-season break begins. 

Klopp will be hopeful the likes of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota will be fit and injury-free.

BT Sport's next Premier League offering sees title challengers Arsenal travel to Merseyside to take on Frank Lampard's Everton in the first of four live games on the channel in February.

Mikel Arteta will be hoping his Gunners are still in pole position for a first Premier League crown since 2004, while the Toffees will be desperate to avoid slipping into a relegation battle for the second season running.

West Ham entertain bitter London rivals Chelsea a week later before Arsenal make a second appearance in front of the BT Sport cameras in as many weeks as they host Aston Villa.

New Villa boss Unai Emery will be out to cause an upset after being deemed surplus to requirement at the Emirates two years ago.

BT Sport's final February fixtures sees high-flying Newcastle go head-to-head Brighton.

Eddie Howe's Magpies are ahead of schedule in their Saudi revolution and look well positioned to challenge for a Champions League spot. 

What if I can't watch live?

No problem. A highlights package of each live Premier League game will be made available to all shortly after the game on both the BT Sport app and bt.com/sport.

We'll also publish in-game clips throughout the 90 minutes.

There will also be several opportunities to watch the match in full on TV and online after the event. For more information on the latest listings, check out our TV Guide.
