It will be the first season at this level for the Cumbrians, now managed by Mark Hughes, for 20 years and follows successive relegations in the English Football League.

Truro City will begin their first season in the top tier of non-league football away at Wealdstone, while fellow newcomers Brackley Town have a home game against Eastleigh.

Troubled Morecambe, who finished bottom of League Two last season, start away to Boston United, while York City, runners-up to 2024-25 champions Barnet, have a home game with Sutton United.

Beaten play-off finalists Southend United start the campaign by travelling to Gateshead and there is a trip to Tamworth for promoted Scunthorpe United.

The fourth promoted side, Boreham Wood, begin with a home match against Rochdale, but Robbie Savage's first game in charge of Forest Green Rovers will be at Solihull Moors.
