Salop will head to Stevenage on the opening day, before a tricky month follows with a home clash with Peterborough coming before a visit to relegated Huddersfield Town.

Then on September 7, Salop head to Wrexham for a first derby in over 14 years against their old rivals.

Other notable fixtures include Stockport County returning to the Meadow in October, and the Birmingham City making the trip the following month.

Salop also have two home games over the festive period, before welcoming Wrexham to Shropshire in January.

And the season finishes on home soil with a clash against Crawley Town.
