After winning the National League last season, Wrexham are hoping to secure back-to-back promotions as they continue their rise under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Wrexham will begin their campaign with a tricky home game against MK Dons, relegated from League One last term and themselves looking to make an immediate return to the third tier.

They then make the trip to Plough Lane to face AFC Wimbledon, the club that was born after the chaos that saw Wimbledon FC relocated to Milton Keynes in another tough fixture, with Walsall, Swindon Town and Barrow all to come before August is finished with.

Notts County, who were Wrexham's close rivals during a record-breaking National League season, will host Phil Parkinson's side on October 28 before visiting the Racecourse on February 17, following their return to the EFL.

Wrexham face a trip away from home in the traditional Boxing Day fixture as they take on Swindon Town. They will be at home to Barrow on New Year's Day.

Stockport County, who missed out on promotion to League One after losing on penalties to Carlisle United in the play-off final and are favourites to win the division along with the much-fancied Welshmen, will meet Wrexham on September 23 and the final day of the season.

Wrexham are set to meet Mark Hughes and Bradford City on October 21 and February 10, while they will take on Salford City on October 14 and February 3, with the Class of '92 club also hoping that this can be their year in League Two.
