Hearts kick off their 2023/24 Scottish Premiership season at St Johnstone on Saturday August 5.
Steven Naismith's hopes on building on last season's fourth-placed finish have been boosted by a favourable opening set of fixtures.
The Jambos face St Johnstone, Kilmarnock, Dundee, Motherwell, Aberdeen, St Mirren and Ross County in their first seven games before a gruelling October schedule.
Hearts travel to Tynecastle for the first Edinburgh derby on October 7 before the visit of champions Celtic on October 21 and a trip to Rangers on October 28.
Hibernian host the second Edinburgh derby on December 27 - live on Sky Sports - with Hearts hosting the third instalment on February 28.
Hearts will need to navigate two qualifying rounds to reach the Europa Conference League, with a trip to Dundee (August 26) following their play-off first-leg, should they progress through the third round and a home clash against Motherwell (September 2) after their second-leg tie.
Hearts' domestic campaign pauses after their January 2 away fixture at Livingston, with their season resuming with the visit of Aberdeen on January 27.
Their first post-split assignment will take place on April 27, with the Scottish Premiership regular season concluding on the weekend of May 18-19.
