Barnsley FC fixtures: Port Vale up first, Wigan Athletic on New Year's Day

Reality of missing out on promotion to the Championship in agonising fashion in the play-off final last month, hits home today for Barnsley with the revealing of the Sky Bet EFL League One fixtures.

The Reds begin their second season in the third tier with a home game against Port Vale on Saturday, August 5.

Bristol Rovers provide their first away opponents a week later, while on Boxing Day they face a return game against Vale and welcome relegated Wigan Athletic on New Year’s Day.
