Forest Green’s second campaign in League 2 will begin with an away trip to Grimsby Town on Saturday August 4.

It’s the fourth time in five seasons that Mark Cooper's side have played away from home in the opening fixture, with only last season’s opener against Barnet coming at The New Lawn.

The first home match of the season will be on Saturday August 11 against League 2 newcomers Oldham Athletic, who were relegated from League 1 in the last campaign. FGR will then travel to Swindon for the first round of the Carabao Cup in the following week.

FGR will play the first El Glosico of the season against Cheltenham at home on October 20, before the return fixture at the newly renamed Jonny-Rocks Stadium on Saturday December 29.

The Cheltenham game is at the heart of a busy festive season, as Rovers face five games in 15 days, beginning with Crewe at home on Saturday December 22, followed by Newport County away on Boxing Day, Cheltenham away on Saturday December 29, Northampton at home on New Year’s Day and Grimsby at home on Saturday January 5.

The season ends on Saturday May 4 at home to Exeter City.

Ticket information for the opening fixtures will be revealed at a later date.
