Matchday 1 of a new season means that every club is on equal footing, each with an equal opportunity to win the title.
Reality will come for many teams, of course, but one of the thrills of a new campaign is the opportunity for each team and its fans to dream a little bigger. Among the dreamers is Brentford, which is in the Premier League for the first time in club history and in the top flight of English football for the first time in 74 years.
Along with Arsenal, the Bees have the honor of kicking off the new campaign on Friday, with the remainder of the weekend's fixtures coming Saturday and Sunday.
Here's the full schedule for Matchday 1 of the Premier League season, plus how to watch every game live.
