It's been a busy summer already at SA1, but today fans can start to look forward to the new season.

The departure of Graham Potter to Brighton and Hove Albion came as a big blow to the club, who seemed to be moving in the right direction under the Englishman, but there's a real sense of optimism that things can now get back on track with the new man in charge.

Steve Cooper is the man now in the hot seat at the Liberty Stadium, and there will be plenty of work to be done before the new season gets underway on the first weekend of August.

Today Swansea found out just how their 2019/20 campaign will be mapped out, including where it will start and end.

The first fixture many fans will be searching for is the South Wales derby with bitter rivals Cardiff City. And those dates have now been revealed.

The Swans haven't faced Cardiff since February 2014, when they ran out 3-0 winners at the Liberty Stadium. But the excitement is already building after today's fixture schedule was released, which you can see in full here.

You can relive all of the latest news from Swansea right here.
