The Scottish Premiership is back and if early signs are to be believed, the 2026/27 campaign is set to be a dramatic one.

Last season was one of the most dramatic in recent memory and saw Hearts fall gut-wrenchingly short of breaking the Old Firm's 41-year reign of dominance as they lost the title to Celtic on the final day.

The Jambos' two talismanic figures – manager Derek McInnes and captain Lawrence Shankland – have made the move to Rangers in the hope of bringing the good times back to Ibrox, while Martin O'Neill has been installed as the permanent boss at Celtic after saving last season by delivering a league and cup double as an interim.

But the intrigue goes far beyond just the top two. Hearts step into a new era under Wouter Vrancken, who has been backed in the transfer market, while Motherwell must rally after being picked apart since the end of last term, Hibs and Falkirk are hoping to build on top half finishes last term, and new arrivals St Johnstone want to make their mark.

It's been a summer of change across the division, which suggests we could be in for another rollercoaster campaign.

After a record-breaking opening weekend, when all six matches were live on Sky Sports, the TV schedule is a little reduced as normal service resumes.

Radio Times brings you the complete Scottish Premiership TV schedule, including every game you can watch live in the UK.
