Leicester City, meanwhile, begin their title defence away at Hull City in Sky’s new regular 12.30pm slot on the opening day.
BT’s opening game is Manchester City against Sunderland on the evening of Saturday 13 August, while the first Sunday of the season features Bournemouth versus Manchester United and Arsenal versus Liverpool on Sky.
