Carlisle host Doncaster in opener

Newly-promoted Carlisle United begin life back in League One with a home game against Doncaster Rovers.

The other three promoted sides are all away from home. Northampton go to Crewe, Leyton Orient visit Port Vale, and Cheltenham travel to Swansea.

Relegated Brighton face the trip to Rotherham - who will start the season with minus 10 points.

Millwall host Yeovil, while new Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore hosts his former club Oldham on the opening day.
