Kelty Hearts will kick off their League Two campaign on the road with a trip to Forfar Athletic.
Tam O'Ware's side will begin their first season in the fourth tier since 2022 with a trip to Station Park to play a Loons side that finished fourth in the division last term.
The Angus outfit lost out to Hamilton Academical in the League One play-off semi-final, and will be the first test for the 'Maroon Machine' since their relegation.
They've only met five times previously, with four meetings during the 2021/22 season, which saw a win apiece and two draws, followed by a 2-1 win for Kelty in a Challenge Cup tie.
O'Ware's team finished bottom of League One, ending a four-season stay in the third tier, and their bid for a return will continue with a home game against Stirling Albion a week later.
That first match at New Central Park is followed by lengthy trips to Elgin City and Stranraer, either side of a visit by Dumbarton on Saturday August 22, to round off the first month of fixtures.
Three matches are pencilled in for September - at home to Annan Athletic, on Saturday September 5, away to Clyde, and at home to Edinburgh City - before the festive period brings two New Central Park clashes before Santa's arrival.
Clyde make the trip to Fife on Saturday December 19, before Boxing Day brings a cracker in the shape of a visit from former Scotland international Steven Whittaker's Stirling Albion.
The first match of the New Year takes Kelty back to the scene of their opening day fixture, Forfar, on January 2, which is followed a week later by their second trip of the campaign to Stranraer.
In their final five, which Maroon Machine supporters will hope will be leading towards a successful conclusion to the season, O'Ware's side host The Spartans on April 3, before visiting the capital to play Edinburgh City seven days later.
They then welcome Elgin City and Clyde on successive Saturdays, before they end their season, on Saturday May 1, at Dumbarton.
