Several different future forms are possible, but in general we most commonly use the present continuous to talk about an arrangement:
I’m taking my exam tomorrow!
We use will for instant reactions, predictions and promises:
That’s the doorbell! I’ll get it!
Compare:
I’ll probably stay in tomorrow night. (I’ve got no arranged plans)
I’m playing squash tomorrow night. (I’ve already arranged it)
We use the present simple for future timetabled events.
Compare:
The plane leaves at 8 am. (timetabled event)
I’m leaving the house at 5.30 am. (personal arrangement)
