Stranraer will play five home games in the new league phase of the KDM Evolution Trophy (formerly Challenge Cup), including another home meeting with old rivals Queen of the South.
We begin with a midweek home tie against League One side Alloa Athletic, before Rangers’ B team make the trip to Wigtownshire a fortnight later.
Kelty’s New Central Park is the venue on the first weekend of September, and Motherwell’s youngsters visit the Eco Gen Stadium in the final midweek tie of that month.
With the sides already set to meet for the first time in six years in the Premier Sports Cup on Saturday 26 July, the Doonhamers will travel along the A75 again for a regional clash in October.
Finally, we round off our league phase fixture list at home to St Mirren’s academy prospects.
Fixture dates will be confirmed in due course, with a full explanation of the format available on the SPFL website.
