Premier League fans have less than two months to wait until the start of the new season.
The provisional fixture list has been revealed on June 18, giving the 20 clubs just under eight weeks to get their preparations in order.
Last season began with Manchester United defeating Fulham 1-0 at Old Trafford in a Friday night match.
The defending champions, Liverpool, will get the campaign underway this year as they welcome Bournemouth to Anfield.
A full weekend slate of action will then play out all the way from the opening Friday night fixture under the lights until Leeds and Everton lock horns on Monday night (local time).
The Sporting News provides the full fixture list for the opening matchday below.
