Carlisle United's fixture list for the upcoming football season has now been revealed, on the same day their 2024/25 kit has been released.

The Blues kick off the new campaign with their longest away journey, a 670 mile round trip to face Gillingham.

The first home game of the season will see Paul Simpson's men host local rivals Barrow at, what will be, a newly modernised Brunton Park.

After the disappointment of last season's relegation from League One there are high expectations of the side this year for the first full campaign under the ownership of the Piatak family.

Other highlights of the fixture list include a home game against Morecambe on Boxing Day and a New Year's Day visit to Crewe Alexandra.

The Easter Bank Holiday weekend sees trips to Port Vale on Good Friday and Accrington Stanley on Easter Monday.

The Blues last away trip of the season is at Cheltenham Town on April 26 before the 46 game adventure comes to an end at home to Salford City on May 3.
