PLYMOUTH Argyle will kick off their Championship campaign with a home match against Huddersfield Town, managed by former Pilgrims boss Neil Warnock.

The match is scheduled for Saturday, August 5.

Warnock, who has a home in south east Cornwall, is bringing his team to Devon next month for pre-season friendlies against Bodmin Town, Tavistock and Liskeard Athletic.

The Pilgrims then face two matches against former Premier League sides, with a visit to Watford on August 12, followed by an attractive home game with Southampton on Saturday, August 19.

They visit Bristol City on Tuesday, September 19 in the nearest thing they will have to a local derby, with the return at Home Park on Easter Monday, April 1.

They take on Birmingham City at home on the Saturday before Christmas, December 23, before a Boxing Day trip to Cardiff City.

They then visit Southampton on Friday, December 29, before a New Year's Day clash at home to Watford.

Leeds United will be the visitors to Home Park on Saturday, February 17.

Argyle's final game of the season is at home to Hull City on Saturday, May 4.
