Aston Villa will begin their 2022/23 Premier League campaign with a trip to newly-promoted Bournemouth on August 6.
Steven Gerrard's side follow this up with home matches against Everton and West Ham, plus away games at Crystal Palace and Arsenal in a busy August.
Aston Villa's final game before the season pauses for the winter World Cup will be against Brighton on the weekend of November 12/13. They will then return to action on Boxing Day against Liverpool.
After a New Year's Eve trip to Tottenham, Aston Villa will face Midlands rivals Wolves on January 2 at Villa Park, before the return fixture at Molineux on May 6.
A trip to Gerrard's former side Liverpool is among a tough run-in of fixtures, as they also face Manchester United and Tottenham in their final five games, before finishing the season with a home match against Brighton.
