Premier League fixtures: West Brom first up for Man Utd
Manchester United will start the defence of their Premier League title with a trip to West Brom on Saturday, 13 August.
Arsenal begin with a match at Newcastle, while Chelsea, last season's runners-up, travel to Stoke and Liverpool host Sunderland.
Swansea's first ever Premier League match is at Manchester City, while QPR open with a home clash Bolton.
Norwich, back in the top flight after six years, travel to Wigan.
Elsewhere on the opening day, Tottenham and Everton meet at White Hart Lane, Fulham and Aston Villa face each other at Craven Cottage, while Blackburn host Wolves.
After facing West Brom, Manchester United play home games against Tottenham and Arsenal.
Of the sides that finished in the top four last season, Arsenal's is perhaps the toughest start.
Arsene Wenger's men follow up their opener at St James' Park with a home game against Liverpool before a trip to Old Trafford.
The game between Liverpool and Sunderland means Reds midfielder Jordan Henderson could get an immediate run-out against the team he signed from earlier this month in a £20m deal.
On 17 September, Manchester United host Chelsea, with other big games coming thick and fast the following month.
United visit Liverpool on 15 October, Manchester City travel to Old Trafford on 22 October and Chelsea host Arsenal on 29 October.
