Crawley Town will begin life back in League Two with a trip to Oxford United on the opening day of the season.

The game will offer a potential reunion with former Crawley defender Jake Wright who is now skipper at the Kassam Stadium.

The Reds’ first home league game of the campaign will be against AFC Wimbledon on Saturday August 15 and that will be followed by a visit of Portsmouth – and their former Crawley striker Matt Tubbs – three days later on August 18.

Teddy Sherringham will bring his Stevenage side to the Checkatrade.com Stadium on Boxing Day, with Crawley away to Wycombe two days later on December 28.

New boss Mark Yates’ side will finish the season with a home game against Conference premier champions Barnet.

The Easter games will see Crawley at York City on Good Friday, then Exeter City at home on the Monday.
