Premiership champions Chelsea will kick off their title defence with the visit of Manchester City on 19 August.
Last season's runners-up Manchester United will host Fulham, while FA Cup winners Liverpool travel to newly-promoted Sheffield United.
Arsenal will open proceedings at the Emirates Stadium by taking on Aston Villa, while rivals Tottenham face a trip to Bolton.
New boys Watford take a trip to Everton while Reading will host Middlesbrough.
Intertoto Cup hopefuls Newcastle, minus the injured Michael Owen, begin their campaign at home to Wigan.
Portsmouth, who escaped relegation to the Championship last season, host Blackburn while Iain Dowie's first challenge as Charlton boss sees his side travel to FA Cup runners-up West Ham.
Manchester United have a tough opener to September which will go a long way to establishing whether they can capture their first Premiership title since 2003.
The Red Devils host Tottenham and Arsenal on 9 and 16 September.
Sir Alex Ferguson's boys will have to wait until 9 December for their contest against rivals Manchester City, while the first of the Merseyside derby fixtures will take place at Goodison Park on 9 September.
Chelsea face a tough run-in to their programme as they will travel to Arsenal in their penultimate fixture before hosting Everton in their final match.
Manchester United close with the visit of West Ham, while Liverpool will welcome Charlton to Anfield on 13 May.
And Reading chief Steve Coppell will ring in the new year with a trip to former club Manchester United when the two sides go head-to-head at Old Trafford on New Year's Eve.

The big clash with the Stags is 7th Oct (A) and 10th Mar (H), pleasingly both Saturdays!

Tough run-in for us!  Last home game is against Chelski, and 3 of our last 4 away games are Liverpool, Newcastle and Spurs... we'll play Bolton at home in the middle of that, too... Does the law for how much of the fixtures we can post up still apply? |

I think so, although I have seen the stags once posted up in full on stagsnet.
