Peterborough United will start life back in the Championship with a local derby against Luton Town.

Newly-promoted Posh will head to Kenilworth Road on August 7 as they prepare to play in the second tier for the first time since 2013.

There's also an exciting first fixture for Cambridge United in League One as they host Oxford United in a Varsity clash.

The U's, who haven't played in the third tier since 2002, will then travel to Accrington Stanley the following week.

Ipswich Town also have a home game to kick-off their League One campaign as they host another newly-promoted side in the shape of Morecambe, while MK Dons travel to Bolton Wanderers - another team who were promoted from League Two last season.

Relegated Northampton Town will host Port Vale on day one of the League Two season, while Stevenage and Colchester United will face Barrow and Carlisle United respectively.
