The Premier League is officially back in August and the highly anticipated fixture release is just around the corner.
Less than a month ago, Liverpool were crowned Champions at Anfield and tomorrow they will find out their fate as to who they will face on the first day of the season.
Championship winners Leeds United are back in the big time after a two-year absence, whilst Burnley return for their ninth Premier League season.
Sunderland also return to the top-flight for the first time since the 2016-17 season, after suffering back-to-back relegations only in 2018.
The fixtures will be released at 09:00 BST on Wednesday, June 18.
All Premier League fans will be able to see who their sides will face on the opening day, on Boxing Day and throughout the season.
The season is due to currently start on Saturday, August 16.
In previous seasons, the opener has been moved to Friday night.
Last season, Man United debutant Joshua Zirkzee stole the Friday night headlines after a last gasp winner to defeat Fulham at Old Trafford.
The season before, Vincent Kompany's Clarets hosted Manchester City; a nightmare start to endure.
