After just one season down in the Championship, Watford are back in the Premier League and will make their return at home to Aston Villa on August 14.
The Hornets bounced back to the top-flight at the first attempt as they clinched automatic promotion under coach Xisco Munoz.
A trip to Brighton follows the opening game before Tottenham and Wolves visit Vicarage Road. The reverse games are festive with Watford away to Wolves on Boxing Day and seeing in the New Year in north London at Spurs.
Munoz will hope that safety can be secured early on with games against Manchester City, Leicester City and Chelsea making up three of their final five fixtures, with their season ending at Stamford Bridge on May 22.
Watford enjoyed five successive seasons in the Premier League before they were relegated at the end of the 2019-20 season and they are out to establish themselves once again and avoid a relegation scrap.
They will be captained by their inspiration leader Troy Deeney, who will be 33 by the time the season starts but is out to show he can still cause Premier League defenders problems.
