Simple Present

The simple present is used to make statements about events at a time later than now, when the statements are based on present facts, and when these facts are something fixed like a time-table, schedule, calendar.

Examples: 

The plane arrives at 18.00 tomorrow.

She has a yoga class tomorrow morning.

The restaurant opens at 19.30 tonight.

Present Progressive

The present continuous is used to talk about arrangements for events at a time later than now.

There is a suggestion that more than one person is aware of the event, and that some preparation has already happened

Examples:

Is she seeing him tomorrow?

He isn't working next week.

They aren't leaving until the end of next year.
