The Terriers played the back end of 2019-2020 and all of last season behind closed doors because of Covid-19 but the gates are due to open for the coming campaign and there are high-profile visitors for the occasion.

Huddersfield's campaign is due to start at Derby County the previous week but that is far from certain given the disciplinary issues around Wayne Rooney's side.

The Rams were fined £100,000 for breaching the league's accountancy rules , but still face the threat of relegation if a retrospective points deduction is imposed if the league successfully appeal against an independent commission's decision. Their fixtures are therefore interchangeable with those of Wycombe Wanderers, who were relegated to League One last season.
