Albion and new head coach Fabian Hurzeler are set for an exciting first home game of the new Premier League season against Manchester United.
United, who triumphed at the Amex Stadium on the final day of last season, will visit Sussex on Saturday, 24 August, just a week after Albion kicks off their campaign with what is likely to be their final trip to Goodison Park to face Everton. Everton plans to move to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Albion has a strong track record for opening-day victories on the road, having won their last three against Manchester United (2022), Burnley (2021), and Watford (2019).
They will conclude a challenging opening month with a match against last season's runners-up, Arsenal, at the Emirates on Saturday, 31 August.
Promoted Ipswich Town will visit the Amex on 14 September, marking the first of three home games out of four. A week later, Albion will host Nottingham Forest and, after a trip to Chelsea, they will entertain Tottenham Hotspur on 5 October.
There are four midweek match rounds scheduled. Albion will visit Fulham on 3 December and Portman Road to face Ipswich on 14 January before hosting AFC Bournemouth on 25 February and Aston Villa on 1 April.
Matches against other promoted teams are set for consecutive Saturdays in autumn. Adam Lallana’s Southampton will visit on 30 November, followed by a trip to Leicester City on 7 December. The much-anticipated fixtures against Crystal Palace are at the Amex on 14 December and Selhurst Park on 5 April.
Champions Manchester City will visit the Amex on 9 November. A busy Christmas and New Year schedule will see Albion play four times in a fortnight. They will visit West Ham United on 21 December, host Brentford on Boxing Day, and then play Aston Villa at Villa Park three days later. Arsenal will be the first visitors to the Amex in 2025 on 4 January.
The campaign will conclude with a trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 25 May, a week after Albion's final home fixture against Liverpool.
