The recent Championship season only just finished with Southampton securing a play-off victory over Leeds United at Wembley after Leicester and Ipswich achieved automatic promotion.
But now the fixtures for the 2024/25 campaign have been released. Blackburn and Preston both play host with two Friday night games kicking things off on August 9.
Derby will head to Ewood Park whilst Sheffield United, who endured a horror season in the Premier League last term as they were relegated, will start their attempt at an immediate return with a trip to Deepdale.
Leeds, after losing at Wembley, will host Portsmouth on the opening weekend. Argyle have just returned to the Championship from League One.
The opening weekend is spread across four days and it concludes with Luton hosting Burnley - a game that was a Premier League fixture just months ago.
Two of Yorkshire's protagonists, Leeds and Sheffield United, will be among the favourites for promotion and they meet for the first time at Elland Road on October 19.
The first all-Yorkshire Steel City derby since 2019 will be played at Bramall Lane in November with the return game at Hillsborough in March. The season will end on the first weekend in May.
