Carlisle United have confirmed friendlies against a non-league side and a Premier League under-23 outfit.

The Blues have completed their line-up of pre-season games with a behind-closed-doors fixture against Everton U23s and a Friday night home game against FC Halifax Town.

The games take the tally of friendlies for Chris Beech's first team to nine.

The Everton encounter will be played on Tuesday, July 27. No further details on the game against the Toffees' young side have been given.

National League side Halifax, meanwhile, will visit Brunton Park for Carlisle's final pre-season game on Friday, July 30, 7pm kick-off.

That is one of two home games this summer, with Blackpool due to visit the previous Saturday - with the Blues hoping fans can attend both Brunton encounters.

Halifax finished 10th in non-league's top tier last season.

The line-up of games means newly-promoted Championship side Blackpool will be the only EFL opposition to face Carlisle ahead of the new 2021/22 campaign.

Carlisle with otherwise face non-league opposition in Penrith, Workington, Hebburn, Chorley, Kendal, Lancaster and Halifax.

A full schedule of friendlies is on the club website.
