League One 2023-24 fixtures in full as Derby look to bounce back from heartbreak


The fixtures for the 2023-24 League One season are finally out, with some mouth-watering games in store first up.

Arguably the standout tie of the opening weekend sees recently relegated Wigan Athletic travel to Derby County – a clash between two of the biggest candidates for promotion this term. Derby will be looking to bounce back from last season's heartbreak, which saw them miss out on a League One play-off spot in agonising fashion on the last day of the campaign.

Elsewhere, other relegated sides Blackpool and Reading have home games against Burton Albion and Peterborough United respectively while there’s a London derby as League Two champions Leyton Orient travel to Charlton.

The final game of the season is scheduled for Saturday, April 27.

Here's a full list of the League One fixture list from the August 5 start to the final day.
