Stamford Bridge Match is August 5th vs ACF Fiorentina and 3 days later Premier League Opening Weekend starts thats why.

Premier League 2015-16 season to kick off on August 8, giving England more time to prepare for Euro 2016... if they qualify

I know, just found it weir to count it as part of the Champions Cup, especially that there is a final to be played and we might as well be part of it, one additional game, to be played where ?

And the CS has always been played from 7 to 11 August depending on the weekend dates, which will be 8 & 9 this Year, so the PL will probably start the weekend after ( 15-16 ).

Yeah almost forgot about the Community Shield. 99% we will be back at Wembley and probably against Arsenal. The question is, when?

The Community Shield could well be played on August 1 or 2, in between the friendlies against Barcelona and Fiorentina.

I doubt so, it has always been played on the weekend from 7 to 11 August, don't see them changing that this year.

I read that the Community Shield 2015 will be played on 9th August, Sunday. So it's actually after the start of the season.

[Adnane 1,101]

The season is starting on August 15 i guess.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

No, on 8th August, Saturday. They want to bring earlier start in order to give national team more time to prepare for Euro 2016.
