Swindon Town will travel to Scunthorpe United on the opening day of the League Two season on Saturday August 3.

Richie Wellens' men have been handed one of their toughest away games first up - a place where they have not won since 2006.

Although, the last time Town opened their season against the Iron - the start of the 2014-15 campaign - they went on to reach the League One play-off final.

Swindon's first home match of the season comes a week later against Carlisle United while difficult trips to Exeter City and Cheltenham Town are split by Northampton Town's visit to the County Ground.

Swindon host Morecambe on the final day of August while their opening League Cup fixture will be announced in the draw this evening (7PM) and will take place the week commencing August 12.

Town will travel to Salford on November 16 while the local derby against Forest Green is due to be played on Decemeber 21 at the New Lawn.

Wellens' men host Cambridge United on Boxing Day before travelling down to Devon on New Years' Day to take on Plymouth Argyle.

Mark Cooper's Forest Green return to the County Ground on March 7 before the other Gloucestershire outfit - Cheltenham - arrive at SN1 on April 10.

Swindon round off their League Two season away at Macclesfield Town on April 24.
