For the first time in 10 years, the Saints will be plying their trade in the Championship following their relegation from the Premier League.
Leading them from the front will be manager Russell Martin after he was announced as their new manager on June 21, taking over from Rubén Sellés.
Last season, Nathan Jones took charge of The Saints for just 14 games after the sacking of Ralph Hasenhüttl after three years and 11 months with the south coast side.
Sellés put together a string of good results but ultimately it was not to be as after the defeat to Fulham, relegation to the Championship was confirmed.
For the second time in his career, Theo Walcott has left the club, there has been no indication on where the 34-year-old will go.
Captain James Ward-Prowse has been linked with a move away but remains at the club as things stand.
Southampton kick off the season on Friday, August 4 away to Sheffield Wednesday, who were promoted from League One last season following a dramatic play-off semi-final against Peterbrough United.
Their first home game will take place on August 12 when they host Norwich City at St Mary's.
Boxing day will see Russell Martin face his old side as Swansea City visits the south coast.
New Year 2024 will kick off with an away trip to Carrow Road as they hit the road to visit Norwich. And finally, the season will conclude on May 4, 2024, as they travel to Leeds United.
