Champions Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City will all be televised on the opening weekend as Sky Sports kicks off a new season of live Premier League coverage.
The games involving last season's top three will be shown live on the opening weekend after Sky confirmed the first batch of fixtures for the 2011/12 campaign.
It all starts on Sunday August 14 with last season's runners-up Chelsea travelling to Stoke, before Manchester United launch the defence of their title at West Bromwich Albion later that afternoon.
Then the opening Monday Night Football of the campaign sees Manchester City host newly-promoted Swansea City in their first ever Premier League match.
In consultation with the Premier League, Sky Sports has confirmed 39 live games up until the end of November. They will show 115 live Premier League fixtures across the season, with every match available in HD and selected matches in 3D.
Commenting on the live matches, Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said: "Manchester United and Chelsea both feature as part of a live Ford Super Sunday double header on the opening weekend of the season, followed by Swansea City's first ever Premier League match when Ford Monday Night Football kicks off on August 15.
"In the first set of live Sky Sports HD fixtures we will also see seven major derbies, all top six teams in the opening 10 days and every Barclays Premier League club live before the end of November."
