The Fixture: Hearts at Celtic for the Title, FA Cup Final, and the Best Soccer on TV This Weekend

The Fixture. Every weekend, we go through the fixture list so you don't have to.

For the first time since Aberdeen in 1985, a club that isn't Celtic or Rangers can win the Scottish Premiership. Hearts are top, one point clear of Celtic, and they happen to be visiting Celtic Park for the season's final game. A draw clinches it.

A few hours later, Chelsea and Manchester City meet at Wembley for the FA Cup.

Sunday, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and Eredivisie all play their last games at the exact same moment and Serie A and La Liga have a full spread.

The Premier League has scattered itself across Friday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday this matchweek.

If that's not enough, Liga MX is having their semifinals at night. Soccer after dark. Make a coffee.

Here's your weekend.

The Fixture

Friday, May 15

Aston Villa vs Liverpool — Fri, 3:00 p.m. ET · NBCSN / Peacock
- Two teams with something to play for. Both tied at 59 points and trying to make it into the Champions League.

Saturday, May 16

Celtic vs Hearts — Sat, 7:30 a.m. ET · CBS Sports Network / Paramount+
- The title decider. No team outside Glasgow has won this league in 41 years. Hearts won 3-0 at Falkirk midweek to stay a point clear, and Celtic beat Motherwell on a controversial VAR call. A draw at Celtic would win it.
Chelsea vs Manchester City — Sat, 10:00 a.m. ET · ESPN2 / ESPN Deportes / ESPN+
- The FA Cup Final. City's fourth in a row, Chelsea's 17th overall. Chelsea have lost the last three finals they've played in. City won the EFL Cup already this season and can complete a domestic cup double.
Chivas vs Cruz Azul — Sat, 9:00 p.m. ET · Telemundo / Universo / Peacock
- Liga MX semifinal, leg 2. Chivas are playing the home leg at Estadio Jalisco, not Akron, because the new Estadio Banorte has been handed to FIFA for the World Cup. The smaller, older ground for one of the biggest games of the year.

Sunday, May 17

Roma vs Lazio — Sun, 6:30 a.m. ET · Paramount+
- Derby della Capitale, second-to-last weekend of the Serie A season. In Rome. Enough said.
Leeds United vs Brighton — Sun, 10:00 a.m. ET · USA Network / Telemundo
- No. 14 and No. 7 in the EPL table, but two strong teams. Leeds in particular have been on a bit of a streak lately. Should be a strong game.
Pumas UNAM vs Pachuca — Sun, 9:00 p.m. ET · TUDN / ViX
- The second leg of the other Liga MX semifinal. Pachuca took home the win on Thursday with just a 1-0 win. Keylor Navas was predictably strong, but couldnt stop a redirect off his own defender's foot.

Here's the whole list of fixtures.
