The Swans will open their new season – under Michael Duff – at home to Birmingham on Saturday August 5th.
The fixtures were released at 9am this morning with the Swans first away trip being to the West Midlands and West Brom.
Unlike the past two seasons the first South Wales derby of the season will be at Cardiff (September 16th) with the return in SA1 six months later on the same date in March.
Reunions with Russell Martin are scheduled for Boxing Day at St Marys which will account for a bumper Swans following whilst he will return to the Swansea.com Stadium less than a month later on January 20th.
The Swans end their league campaign at home to Millwall on the first weekend in May.
