Champions Scarlets will kick off the defence of their title against newcomers Southern Kings on Saturday, September 2 at 5:30pm, while the Ospreys and Dragons will entertain Zebre and Leinster respectively earlier in the day.
Cardiff Blues will be the first Welsh team in action, with Danny Wilson’s men welcoming Edinburgh to the Arms Park on the evening of Friday, September 1.
The regular season will conclude with the annual Judgement Day Welsh derby double header at the Principality Stadium in late April 2018.
The 14 teams in the newly expanded competition are divided into two conferences of seven.

Sides plays teams in their own section home and away, while they have home or away matches versus outfits from the other conference.
There are also two additional rounds of derby matches to ensure there is no reduction in the number of derbies.
That means a total of 21 regular season matches, with the top three teams from each conference progressing to the play-offs, which will comprise quarter-finals, semis and the final.
