First Team
Merghem heads to Tannadice
12th July 2026
Dundee United’s William Hill Premiership fixture list for the 2026/27 season has today been unveiled by the SPFL, setting the stage for another exciting campaign in the Scottish top flight.
The Terrors will ignite the William Hill Premiership campaign under the lights at the CalForth Construction Arena at Tannadice Park, with Rangers providing the opposition on Friday 31 July in front of the Sky Sports cameras. United will then make the trip to Edinburgh for their first away assignment of the season against Heart of Midlothian.
Supporters won’t have to wait long for the first Dundee Derby of the campaign, with Jim Goodwin’s side welcoming their city rivals to Tannadice in late August before making the return journey across the road to bring in 2027. New Firm clashes with Aberdeen also feature prominently, with the first coming at home in October and a December trip to Pittodrie adding extra spice to the festive schedule.
A challenging autumn period includes meetings with Hibernian, Aberdeen and Celtic, whilst the visit to Parkhead is sandwiched between home encounters with Aberdeen and Hearts as United look to build momentum heading into the winter months.
The festive fixture list is packed with intrigue, beginning with an away trip to Rangers under the lights in early December before meetings with Aberdeen, St Mirren and Kilmarnock. Boxing Day sees the Terrors head to Falkirk, before Celtic visit Tannadice for the final match of 2026.
The first few months of 2027 promise plenty of drama, with derby day at Dens Park, a home meeting with Rangers and further tests against Aberdeen and Hearts all preceding the split. United’s scheduled pre-split fixtures conclude with a home encounter against Falkirk before a trip to Celtic Park rounds off the regular campaign.
With another exciting season on the horizon, the United faithful can look forward to derby days, New Firm battles, nights under the lights and plenty of memorable moments as the story of the 2026/27 campaign unfolds.
