The reigning BBL champs will host the Melbourne Renegades at The Furnace on December 26 and the Sydney Thunder on January 1, 2015, when Michael Hussey and Jacques Kallis will be in town.
The reigning champs will also start their title defence at the WACA Ground, on Monday, December 22, when they play host to the Adelaide Strikers and former teammate Craig Simmons.
Simmons was crowd favourite last season with some big hitting that helped Perth to secure the championship.
But the crowd at the WACA Ground will be hoping he can't repeat the feat in the coming season when they meet twice.
International fixtures will again draw out the end of the BBL competition next season.
After playing seven games in 21 days, the Scorchers have a break of 10 days between their seventh and final fixtures - both away from home.
The Scorchers' last of four home games is against the Brisbane Heat on Thursday, January 8.
Their four away fixtures are against the Sydney Sixers, the Strikers, the Hobart Hurricanes (the team they beat in last year's final) and the Melbourne Stars.
"We are excited about the opportunity to celebrate two of the season’s most iconic days alongside our fans,” Perth Scorchers CEO Christina Matthews said.
“The support the WA public has provided for the Scorchers over the first three seasons has been phenomenal, leading to record attendances at 'The Furnace' last season.
“It is also encouraging to see an increase in the number of families attending our matches and, with the fixtures once again falling over the WA school holidays, we expect this trend to continue.”
