Champions Manchester City start their Premier League defence with a trip to Spurs as they look for a first ever win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
City have found life tough since Spurs' new ground was completed, losing all three of their games there so far, with Heung-Min Son and Giovani Lo Celso on target in a 2-0 Premier League win last season.
Newly-promoted Norwich are the first visitors to the Etihad Stadium on August 21, before Arsenal follow them to the north west a week later.
Liverpool, who interrupted City's run of three Premier League trophies, host the champions on October 2 before the first Manchester derby at Old Trafford on November 6.
Leicester visit the Etihad on Boxing Day while City fans face a long trip south to Arsenal on New Year's Day. They host Manchester United on March 5 and as the season draws to its conclusion, their campaign ends with matches at West Ham on May 15 and at home to Aston Villa on May 22.
