Who will Chelsea start their title defence against? Who will Arsenal begin their quest for their first league title in over decade against? Will newly-promoted Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich City start their seasons with an easy fixture?

As football fans begin to acclimatise to the weird yet regular summer sensation of no football, the day when next season's fixtures are announced is a welcome bit of relief: a day to mark up the calendar and get excited about another year of glorious top-flight football.

The 2015-2016 season does not disappoint with two particularly eye-watering opening day games - as well as the brilliant fact that the season starts a whole week earlier. That's because Euro 2016 in France kicks off on June 10.

To find out who your team is playing on August 8 this year, take a look at The Independent's video below: you can find out all the games on the opening day in under two minutes, with some interesting facts about the sides facing each other.
