Leicester Tigers will welcome three popular former players when they begin their 2014-15 Aviva Premiership campaign at home on Saturday, September 6.
Newcastle Falcons will be Leicester's first opponents in a game that will not be shown on television.
That means Tigers' former management team of Dean Richards and John Wells will be back at Welford Road.
There is also the mouth-watering prospect of Leicester centre Manu Tuilagi going up against his brother and former Tigers winger, Alesana.
Newcastle signed Alesana after his two-year stint in Japan, along with another Tuilgai brother, Andy.
Tigers then go to Exeter Chiefs to face former back-rower Thomas Waldrom, and they continue on their travels with a trip to face George Ford and his Bath team that narrowly missed out on the top four last year.
Tigers return to Welford Road to finish off the month by welcoming London Irish.
The two games that every Tigers fan will be looking out for against local rivals Northampton Saints take place just before Christmas and then again on the final day of the regular season.
Richard Cockerill's side return to the scene of their semi-final defeat on December 20 before Saints make the trip up the A6 for round 22 on May 16.
Tigers travel to newly-promoted London Welsh on November 22 during the autumn internationals and make their way to Sale for the Christmas fixture on December 27.
Bath are the visitors to Welford Road for the New Year holiday fixture on January 3.
Tigers also host Saracens during the autumn internationals and then travel to Allianz Park in April.
In a change to the season structure, the new European competition, the Champions Cup, will hold its final earlier than usual with a date of Saturday, May 2.
The six pool-stage games take place at the usual time of the season, with two in October, two in December and two in January.
Tigers have been drawn against Llanelli Scarlets, Ulster and champions Toulon. The details of those pool games will be announced in a fortnight.
Tigers' LV= Cup campaign will also be announced soon.
