FIRST UP - IT'S THE HAMMERS!

Cardiff City will travel to West Ham United for the opening fixture of the 2013/14 Barclays Premier League season on Saturday, 17th August.

The Bluebirds' first home game of the season couldn't get any bigger - it comes the following Saturday, 24th August against Manchester City at Cardiff City Stadium. The month of August is completed on the 31st with another home game, this time against Roberto Martinez's Everton.

As for the highly anticipated South-Wales derbies, Malky Mackay's Cardiff will host Swansea City on Saturday, 2nd November, prior to an away game at Liberty Stadium on Saturday, 8th February.

City are home on Boxing Day again this coming season - this time against Southampton - while another home game against Jose Mourinho's Chelsea completes our first Premier League fixture list on Sunday, 11th May.
