Overshadowed by the events of Grenfell Tower, the Premier League Fixtures were announced at 0900 BST on Wednesday, 14 June 2016.
In line with forum tradition, a new edition of the Ultimate Football (Soccer) Thread has been created to cover the 2017-2018 season, and covers all football activities between Monday 19 June 2016 to 31 July 2018, including the remaining qualifiers for the controversial 2018 World Cup in Russia.
On 23 June 2017, The Blaatschapen recommended a standalone thread for the World Cup Finals: I originally thought that we should be able to fit the entire tournament in this thread.
The following links will instantly populate after the fixtures are announced: it is nice to know that the URLs for the fixtures on the BBC have not changed at all.

Kick-off discussion:
Quoting Deutsche Welle, the International Football Association Board is proposing major changes to the game of football. The most radical plan that has me interested is to cut the total playing time to 60 minutes overall, 30 minutes each half. However, the IFAB plans to allow the clock to be stopped when the ball is out of play. Also, the proposal envisages the whistle only being blown for half-time and full-time when the ball goes out of play.
The International Football Association Board is the body that determines the rules of football, and consists of the home nations of the UK (4) and FIFA. Although FIFA has 50% of the voting power, 75% is needed to change the rules of football.
What do you think about the massive rule-change proposals? I think the conduct of players towards the referee and vice versa is an important topic to address, but I think we can maintain the famous 90 minute while still allowing the clock to be stopped for incidents.
