FRANK LAMPARD’S first three Premier League matches as Chelsea manager will be shown live on TV.
The Blues travel to Manchester United for the opening game of the new campaign, before facing Leicester City and then Norwich City.
BT Sport and Sky Sports announced their live matches up until the end of September on Friday morning.
Four of Chelsea’s opening six matches will be on TV, with Sky Sports showing three of those and BT Sport one.
The Uefa Super Cup final, against rivals Liverpool in Istanbul on August 14, will also be shown on BT Sport.
Chelsea’s opening game of the season comes three days before that European clash, against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The game kicks-off at 4.30pm on Sunday, August 11, on Sky.
A week later will mark Lampard’s hero’s return to his former home, Stamford Bridge.
Kick-off is at the same time on August 18.
