Arsenal will face former midfielder Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.
The Gunners will take on the Eagles on Friday August 5 at 8pm before then welcoming Leicester City to the Emirates Stadium the following weekend.
It is then a favourable run of fixtures as they face newly-promoted sides Fulham at home and Bournemouth away in the following week.
The north London derbies against Tottenham are pencilled in for Saturday October 1 at the Emirates and January, 14 away.
