For the first time in seven seasons, Bristol City will kick-start their campaign away from home as they make the lengthy trip to Hull City on July 30.
The Robins faced the Tigers on the final home game of last season, emerging dominant 5-0 victors, and earned a 2-2 draw away from home in the reverse fixture when Matty James scored an injury-time equaliser.
City's first home game will come against newly-promoted Sunderland in the following week, handing Nigel Pearson and his side a golden opportunity to hit the ground running with two agreeable fixtures.
