Newly appointed Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola will kickstart his new role in the dugout away to Newcastle on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
Liverpool will then host Nottingham Forest the following week.
He will take charge of his first Merseyside derby on Nov. 28 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the return fixture coming on the weekend of Jan. 30, while the first time Liverpool will meet Manchester United is on the weekend of Nov. 21 at Anfield.
The Basque manager will take on his former side Bournemouth on Sep. 19, heading back to the Vitality Stadium for the first time since his departure last summer.
Liverpool have a fairly favourable Christmas period, with fixtures against Chelsea (away), Leeds (home), Tottenham (home), Hull (away) and Aston Villa (away) in December.
After a difficult season in which Liverpool finished fifth in a rather tame defence of their title, they will be hoping to be back in a title race come next May. They have a challenging run-in, facing Chelsea (home), Manchester City (away), Brentford (home), Brighton (away) and Bournemouth (home) in a jam-packed month.
It will be the first time since 2017 that Liverpool will prepare for a season without Mohamed Salah in their ranks after the Egyptian’s emotional send-off at Anfield ended a trophy-laden spell.

With Andy Robertson joining Tottenham as his contract ran out, it marks a new era at Anfield, with Osasuna forward Victor Munoz joining the club on a six-year contract.
Liverpool will be hoping to get off to the best possible start as they did last season, winning their first five matches, before a four-match losing streak saw them lose ground in the title race to eventual winners Arsenal and resulted in Arne Slot being sacked at the conclusion of the season.
Iraola finished sixth with Bournemouth last season to qualify them for the Europa League for the first time in their history.
