Aberdeen open the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership at home against Hearts on August 1, a 5.30pm kick‑off broadcast live on Sky Sports. The match caps a historic opening weekend in which every one of the league’s six fixtures will be shown simultaneously on the network, a first for Scottish football. Starting against last season’s runners‑up gives the Dons a stern early test.

Robinson’s side travel to Dundee on August 8 before confronting fourth‑placed Motherwell on the 22nd. A crucial demanding run follows with back‑to‑back Old Firm meetings: hosting Rangers on August 29 and then visiting defending champions Celtic on September 2, the first midweek double‑header of the campaign. Sky Sports data ranks only Falkirk with a tougher opening slate, underscoring Aberdeen’s challenging start.

The schedule lists 34 league meetings, with Aberdeen playing each rival home and away. Early fixtures include three 3pm games and two evening kick‑offs, notably a 7.45pm visit to Celtic. A cluster of August and September matches forces the Dons to collect points if they target a finish. The calendar also pits them against Kilmarnock and Hibernian in September, offering chances to climb the table.
