Your support makes all the difference.The Premier League fixtures for the 2023/24 campaign are released this morning, just a few short weeks after the culmination of last term - and indeed while the last internationals are still ongoing.
It’s always a day on the calendar to mark up and begin looking forward to the start of the new season, even though that date remains two months away yet.
The usual weekends football fans quickly mark out - aside from the opening round of fixtures, of course - are the Boxing Day games, when they face their fiercest rivals and who they play across the season run-in and on the final day of the season.
All those and more will be revealed at precisely 9am BST. Follow below on our live blog for the full fixture list.

Opening day fixtures 2023/24: Every Premier League match in first round of games
The Premier League fixture list has been announced for the upcoming 2023/24 season, with fans now knowing where they’ll be heading on every gameweek and where their critical matches might lie.
On the all-important first day of the season, the champions Manchester City will head to one of the three newly promoted clubs - only one of which start life in the top flight away from home.
There’s also a huge Sunday clash to look forward to between rivals straight out of the so-called big six - who certainly didn’t all live up to that tag last season - and an intriguing start to the weekend itself when Arsenal will look to start fast once again.
Rounding off the opening weekend is the first Monday night clash, which takes place at Old Trafford. Clubs will all be looking to start the season in positive fashion, and though not all of them can or will, the first match is still one to mark on the calendar and eagerly count down towards.
