Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Who will Chelsea start their title defence against? Who will Arsenal begin their quest for their first league title in over decade against? Will newly-promoted Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City start their seasons with an easy fixture?

As football fans begin to acclimatise to the weird yet regular summer sensation of no football, the day when next season's fixtures are announced is a welcome bit of relief: a day to mark up the calendar and get excited about another year of glorious top-flight football.

The 2015-2016 season does not disappoint with two particularly eye-watering opening day games - as well as the brilliant fact that the season starts a whole week earlier. That's because Euro 2016 in France kicks off on June 10.

To find out who your team is playing on August 8 this year, take a look at The Independent's video below: you can find out all the games on the opening day in under two minutes, with some interesting facts about the sides facing each other.
