The first televised fixtures of the new Premier League season have also been revealed.
Big guns Arsenal and Manchester United have discovered who they will kick-off against, while Liverpool have been handed a nightmare start.
But the match schedule is not the only news to emerge – a brand new Premier League ball will also come into play come August.
Produced by Nike, the white design features the brand’s iconic swoosh logo, some wavy black lines and also splashes of orange all around it.
The new Nike Flight Premier League ball has been met with a number of very different responses.
“Balls bin Tango’d,” wrote one supporter on Twitter.
“This looks awful,” wrote another as a fellow social media user commented: “Each year they manage to make the design worse than the season before.”
Another asked: “Who has vomited on it?”

But not everybody was a hater – especially supporters of newly-promoted Luton Town, whose traditional orange kit colour matches the ball.
“Made for Luton Town,” wrote one.
Another Hatters fan said: “Nawww is this our welcoming present? Orange!”
And a fellow supporter commented: “In honour of Luton’s arrival.”
