The fixtures for the 2023/24 Sky Bet League One season have been released, with Derby hosting Wigan and Peterborough travelling to Reading on the opening weekend.
Wigan have returned to League One after a single season in the Championship and will begin their campaign with a tough assignment at Derby, who narrowly missed out on the play-offs last season.
Reading are back in the third tier for the first time since the 2001/02 season and will host Peterborough, who finished sixth last year but saw Sheffield Wednesday produce an astonishing comeback to knock them out of the play-offs despite the Posh winning the first leg 4-0.
The opening weekend will also see Leyton Orient, back in League One after eight years away, travel to fellow London side Charlton, while Cambridge and Oxford, who both narrowly avoided relegation last season, meet at the Abbey Stadium.
Blackpool, the third side relegated to League One, will host Burton, while promoted sides Northampton and Stevenage will meet at Sixfields Stadium.
Carlisle, who returned to League One for the first time in nine years with a play-off victory over Stockport at Wembley, have been handed a home game against Fleetwood on the opening weekend.
Rivals Peterborough and Cambridge will meet for the first time at the Weston Homes Stadium on November 11, with the return game on February 24.
The Boxing Day fixtures are a reverse of the opening-day games, while the final-day fixtures - scheduled for April 27 - will see Reading host Blackpool and Charlton visit Wycombe.
All dates and kick-off times are subject to change, with the first set of games live on Sky Sports to be confirmed in due course.
