Here's a look at eleven matches that will define Barnsley's bid to maintain their second tier status, including some of the Tykes' key clashes, as well as those of their rivals.
5. Luton Town v Barnsley - 7th July
What a clash this could be! If both sides make a decent start to the resumed season, this game could go a long way to deciding whether either - or indeed both - of the clubs get relegated. Photo: George Wood
6. Huddersfield Town v Luton Town - 11th July
Luton have only won ten games this season, but Huddersfield Town are among the scalps they've claimed. Seven points currently separate them, but a loss for the Terriers here could prove costly. Photo: Stephen Pond
7. Reading v Middlesbrough - 14th July
Boro's recent record against the Royals is superb - they've beaten them in all of their last six matches. This could be a huge opportunity for Jonathan Woodgate's side to take a leap towards safety. Photo: Alex Livesey
8. Hull City v Luton Town - July 18th
Should the Hatters' survival hopes still be alive here, a win here could take things down to the final weekend. In their last meeting back in September, the Tigers ran out comfortable 3-0 winners. Photo: Nigel Roddis
