Watford start the 2016/17 Premier League campaign away to Southampton on August 13th in what is a horrific set of fixtures for new boss Walter Mazzarri.
Following their trip to St Mary's, Watford face Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham and Manchester United in their opening five matches.
The Hornets will be looking to kick on after finishing highest in the table among last season's three newcomers.
Indeed, Quique Sanchez Flores comfortably steered the club to safety while fellow promoted side Norwich booked an immediate return to the Championship and Bournemouth escaped with two games to spare.
But Flores was sacked in May and Mazzarri hastily appointed head coach ahead of the new Premier League season, prompting a sense of excitement amid new beginnings at Vicarage Road.
