Brentford will play games against Championship side Watford and German outfit Wolfsburg this summer, as the Bees begin to confirm their pre-season programme. After finishing 16th in the Premier League in the 2023/24 season, the west Londoners will look to build on that with positive preparations heading into next term. The Bees will travel to Vicarage Road to face Watford on Saturday 3 August in a 3pm kick-off.
The Hornets finished 15th in the Championship last season, appointing former England midfielder Tom Cleverley as their head coach in April 2024.
The second-tier side travelled to Jersey Road for a behind-closed-doors friendly earlier this season, and the Bees' last visit to Hertfordshire ended in a 2-1 victory during the 2021/22 Premier League campaign, with Pontus Jansson's last-minute winner sealing all three points.

Former Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is currently at the helm of the Bundesliga side, who finished 12th in the German top flight this term.
The Bees faced Wolfsburg in a behind-closed-doors fixture at the Gtech in December 2022, during the break for the World Cup, which ended in a 2-2 draw.
Ticket details for these games will be confirmed in due course.
Brentford are also set to face National League Sutton United in a behind-closed-doors game in July.
