The Baggies visit Ewood Park on Saturday, August 5 to begin a tough first month of the campaign which sees Carlos Corberan’s team face a string of opponents who will hope to be in the promotion hunt.

It is the fourth time in five seasons Albion will have started their season on the road.

The Baggies first home fixture is against Swansea on August 12, before they visit newly-relegated Leeds on August 19 and then host Middlesbrough on August 26. Huddersfield visit The Hawthorns on September 2 before the first international break of the season.

A typically busy festive period sees Albion visit Middlesbrough on Saturday, December 23, before back-to-back home matches with Norwich and Leeds on Boxing Day and December 29 respectively. They then face a lengthy New Year’s Day trip to Swansea.

Other fixtures of note include the two West Midlands derbies with Blues. The first takes place at St Andrew’s on Saturday, October 7, with the return fixture at The Hawthorns on February 3.

Albion and Leicester meet in the Championship for the first time since 2010 when the Foxes head to the West Midlands on Saturday, December 2. The Baggies make their first trip to Plymouth since 2010 on Saturday, January 27.

Easter sees Albion head to Millwall on Good Friday, before hosting Watford on the Monday. Their season concludes with back-to-back trips to Leicester on April 20 and Sheffield Wednesday on April 27, before a final home match against Preston on May 4.
