Calderwood will not have to wait long to face former club Dunfermline, with the Dons travelling to East End Park on 21 August.
And Aberdeen's first 'away' tie with Inverness takes place on 16 October.
Caley Thistle will be playing all their home fixtures at Pittodrie because their own ground does not meet SPL criteria.
