Crystal Palace are at the Amex in mid-October and the return fixture is the penultimate away game of the season.
Then comes what looks a big challenge to end the campaign, at home to Liverpool and away to Arsenal.
The Christmas programme sees Albion in London as they go to Fulham on Boxing Day and Tottenham in the following midweek (currently listed as Wednesday, December 30).
Albion have tended to be strong starters to Premier League season.
But last year they opened with one point from a possible six as they drew at home to Fulham, then lost at Everton.
That was in contrast to Fabian Hurzeler’s first season, when they beat Everton at Goodison Park and Manchester United at Old Trafford before drawing at Arsenal.
The previous campaign got under way with 4-1 wins at home to Luton and away to Wlves.
The fixture list published today will be subject to numerous alterations as the campaign progresses.
Especially if the Seagulls come through their Conference League play-off successfully.
With almost half the division involved in Europe, UEFA commitments will inevitably play a large part in how the season looks in practice.
But, as ever, the final day’s schedule is set in stone.
The Seagulls will be at the Emirates on Sunday, May 30.
