The club can today announce two new additions in the pre-season calendar.
Tony Pulis' men will face Championship side Southampton and Spanish outfit Osasuna in two friendlies that form part of the final preparations for the Premier League opener.
The game with Southampton will take place on Tuesday 5th August at St. Mary's Stadium with a 7.45pm kick off.
The Osasuna match, meanwhile, will take place at the Britannia Stadium on Friday 8th August with a kick-off time of 7.45pm.
The Saints avoided relegation to Coca-Cola League One on the final day of last season when they defeated Sheffield United, a result that relegated Stoke's opposition that day, Leicester City.
City striker Vincent Pericard also ended the season with Southampton on loan.
Club Atletico Osasuna, meanwhile, play in the Spanish top flight and finished 17th in La Liga last season.
Key players include EURO 2008 Czech Republic international midfielder Jaroslav Plasil, ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Ricardo and former Birmingham City striker Walter Pandiani.
Former Stoke player and coach Ashley Grimes also played for the Spaniards, having signed for the Potters from Osasuna in 1992.
