Sky Sports and BT Sport have announced their live fixtures for the start of the Premier League season.

BT will kick off their season with Louis van Gaal’s debut as Manchester United manager against Swansea City on Saturday August 16, the opening day of the season.

Sky’s opening weekend will feature the first games for last season’s top four teams, including the start of Manchester City’s title defence against Newcastle, Liverpool’s opening fixture of the post-Luis Suarez era against Southampton, and the London derby between Arsenal, the FA Cup holders, and Crystal Palace.

Sky Sports have announced that all of their channels will be free to Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk and UPC households on the opening day of the season.
