BURNLEY will entertain Europa League semi-finalists Celta Vigo in a pre-season friendly.
The Spanish top flight side head to Turf Moor for the second time in three years having played Sean Dyche's side ahead of the 2014-15 campaign.
That game ended 2-2 with Lukas Jutkiewicz scoring a brace for Burnley.
This summer's fixture takes place on Tuesday, August 1 (7.45pm).
Celta were beaten by Manchester United in the last four of the Europa League last season and finished 13th in La Liga.
The clash will be the first of a European double header for the Clarets who take on Bundesliga new boys Hannover 66 four days later on Saturday, August 5.
The Premier League season gets under way on Saturday, August 12.
Ticket details for both home friendlies will be announced in due course and the Celta clash finalises Burnley's pre-season programme.
