Bournemouth begin the 2022/23 season - their first in the Premier League after two seasons away - with a home clash against Aston Villa on Saturday August 6.
The Cherries - who were promoted from the Championship as runners-up under Scott Parker last term - then face an unenviable run when they take on current champions Manchester City on August 13, Arsenal on August 20 and Liverpool on August 27.
On October 18, they welcome south coast rivals Southampton to the Vitality Stadium, with the return fixture at St Mary's on April 26.
On November 5 they play Leeds at Elland Road and, the following week, on November 12, welcome Everton to Dorset for their final game before the Premier League pauses for the 2022 World Cup.
Bournemouth return to domestic action on Boxing Day, when they play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and round off the year by welcoming Crystal Palace to the Vitality on New Year's Eve. Their final game of the season is at away against Everton on May 28.
