Aberdeen will get their 2020/21 Scottish Premiership campaign underway with a home game against Rangers, live on Sky Sports.
Derek McInnes' men are back in action on Saturday, August 1 in a 5.30pm kick-off with Rangers. They will then travel to St Johnstone for another Sky Live game the following Saturday at 12.30pm.
After facing Hamilton at Pittodrie on August 12, Aberdeen head to Celtic Park on August 15 to face the defending champions.
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes told Sky Sports News the club want to be competitive in both the league and cup competitions after finishing fourth last season and outside the qualification places for Europe.
He said: "We want to compete and we've managed to do that for seven years in a row. To compete in and qualify for Europe, you need to have had a decent campaign. But it's not just enough for us, that. We don't set out to finish in fourth or fifth position, we want to try and make sure we're competitive, get off to a good start if we can and then at the turn of the year in that final run-in, we can assess what we're capable of doing.
"Our job at Aberdeen is to bring silverware and to be competitive. We've put a squad together who wants to be that but if you can qualify for Europe and land a few blows on the Old Firm and other teams as we go along and try to mix it and be as competitive as we can for as long as we can in the league, then great. Certainly the cups offer clubs like ourselves the best chance to bring silverware."
