Carlisle Utd to begin their League Two campaign with a home game against Swindon

The Robins, relegated from League One last season, will be the first side to visit Brunton Park next term on August 5.

Keith Curle's men will face a first away trip to Cambridge United the following Saturday, before also then hosting Cheltenham (August 19) and travelling to newly-promoted Lincoln (August 26) in the opening month of the season.

United will face four matches in nine days over the festive period, travelling to Forest Green on December 23. They then will have home games against Accrington Stanley on Boxing Day and Coventry on December 30, before visiting Mansfield on New Year's Day.

Morecambe will visit the Cumbrians on November 25, while the away fixture is set to be played on April 14.

The Blues' journey to Devon to take on Exeter, where Carlisle's 2016/17 campaign came to an end as they were beaten in the play-off semi-final, comes on March 10.

Carlisle will end their regular League Two season at home to Newport following their final away game of the league term on April 28.
