Norwich City travel to Cardiff City for the opening game of their 2022-23 season.

The Canaries' Championship campaign kicks off at 3pm on July 30, before Wigan Athletic visit Carrow Road a week later.

Dean Smith's side entertain Blackpool in their final league game, with a trip to Luton the Boxing Day centre-piece of a busy festive schedule.

You can read some of the best fan reaction to City's fixture list below.

I’d call that a kind start on paper. Increases the pressure as well though, if we don’t make a fast start it’ll get toxic very quickly. #NCFC https://t.co/K97C8efMp5

There are no excuses why we shouldn't be right up there after the 1st 6 fixtures no excuse what so ever #ncfc

Tricky run in but other than that, nothing that scares me if we perform. #ncfc

Do I want to travel to Scotland and Wales in the space of a week? Absolutely not. #ncfc

Watford have a very difficult start on paper. Ours isn't too bad... #ncfc

I wondered if #ncfc would get a long away trip to start the season… Then I remembered this map. pic.twitter.com/LobpSRqRpW

Might regret saying this, but that league looks incredibly week. Also as much as I'd love to smash Bale the first week, if he goes there there's no way he'll be ready to go from the off. He'll be playing golf til mid July. #ncfc https://t.co/myPdcDlo1T

Thought the championship was supposed to be easier. Nice opening day trying to stop Gareth Bale! https://t.co/oGaNRcRiLF

So after looking at the fixture list I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re not losing a single game all season https://t.co/Sa8nIQnxhp
