The Premier League Fixtures were announced at 0900 BST on Wednesday, 15 June 2016.
In line with forum tradition, a new edition of the Ultimate Football (Soccer) Thread has been created to cover the 2016-2017 season, and covers all football activities between Wednesday 15 June 2016 to Tuesday 18 June 2017, except for the Euro 2016 finals and any outstanding tournaments, which (on the recommendation of The Blaatschapen) will continue in the the old thread.
So it looks like we will have a smooth transition.
The following links will instantly populate after the fixtures are announced: it is nice to know that the URLs for the fixtures on the BBC have not changed at all.

Key points today:
- On 13 August, Leicester City will start their top-flight title defence with Hull City, while Arsenal face Liverpool on the first day.
- West Ham's first match is away at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea, so their first league match at the Olympic Stadium is on 20 August, with Bournemouth.
- The Premier League also has a sharp new look (although I preferred the serifs in the typefaces). See the designs here.
