Bordeaux-Begles led the Top 14 in April when the French government ordered the end of professional sports leagues as part of its fight to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 2019/20 season was eventually declared null and void with no champion and no relegation to or promotion from Pro D2.
"We know now that we will be favourites when we play our matches," said Bordeaux-Begles head coach Christophe Urios.
"But we're ready for that. Our style of play will have to develop and we will have to have different skills and weapons. But we have a team which attacks and which likes to attack. I've never seen that in a team before."
The opening weekend wraps up with Toulouse, the Top 14 champions in 2019, away at fellow big spenders Clermont.
The format for the weekly rounds will be one match on Friday with a 8.45pm kick-off, followed by a 3.15pm fixture and four games at 6.15pm on Saturday, rounded off with one match on Sunday at 9.00pm.
