Thomas Frank's side will start their fourth successive season in the Premier League at home, hosting Crystal Palace in west London on the opening day of the 2024-25 campaign.

A week later, the Bees will travel to Anfield to face Arne Slot's Liverpool, with the Dutch manager replacing Jurgen Klopp in the Reds' dugout after his impressive nine-year reign.

In what promises to be a challenging start, Brentford then host newly-promoted Southampton before two difficult away games against reigning champions Manchester City and Tottenham.

The schedule appears to get a little more comfortable after that, with the Bees facing none of last season's top six in October or November.

And it seems to be a kind run-in too for Brentford ahead of the new Premier League campaign, with their last five matches of the season scheduled against Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, Ipswich, Fulham and Wolves.
