The Championship fixtures for the 2018/19 season have been released and Stoke City start their campaign with a trip to Elland Road to face Leeds United on the 5th of August.
A few days later the first home game of the season sees Brentford visit the bet365 Stadium.

Fans will have to wait until November before they see Gary Rowett take on his old side Derby County, the Rams visit the Potteries on the 28th, while December sees Stoke make two visits to the second city when they take on Aston Villa on the 15th and then Birmingham City on Boxing Day.
The first game of the New Year takes place on the 1st of January when Bristol City visit and on March 5th, the curtain comes down on the season when Sheffield United come to town.
And what do Stoke fans think of it all? Here is some of the reactions on twitter…
