Celtic won the Scottish Premiership last season for the fourth consecutive campaign

The Hoops start 2026 by hosting their Old Firm rivals on January 3, also live on Sky, before another trip to Govan on February 28 for their final meeting before the split.

There are no Boxing Day fixtures scheduled this season with Celtic away to Livingston on Saturday, December 27.

Celtic's final pre-split fixture takes place on April 11 against St Mirren, with the league campaign concluding on the weekend of May 16/17 and the play-off final bringing a curtain down on proceedings on May 21 and 24.

What about Europe?

Celtic have a League Cup game on August 16/17 ahead of the first-leg of their Champions League play-off tie.

The Hoops are then due to face Livingston on August 23, however, they could request for that game to be postponed following a new policy that was approved this year by the SPFL, giving clubs a better chance to prepare for their UEFA play-off round qualifiers.
