We use the Present Continues to talk about future arrangements (a time and place are decided).

We often use exact time expressions, such as this morning, next week, tonight, tomorrow etc. for Present
Continuous. Examples have been given below:
- I am seeing John on Friday at the tennis club.
- I am visiting London next month.
- I am getting a new job. (= It is already decided / arranged)
