Dover Athletic will start the new season at home to FC Halifax Town.

The game on August 9 marks the Whites' long-awaited return to Conference Premier, following their play-off triumph over Kent rivals Ebbsfleet in May.

Dover clash with Dartford on September 16 (away) and January 17 (home).

Chris Kinnear's side will play Welling United twice over the Christmas period, welcoming the Wings to Crabble on Boxing Day before heading to Park View Road for the return fixture on New Year's Day.

A trip to relegated Bristol Rovers awaits the Whites on October 4, with the former Football League giants providing the opposition for Dover's final home game on April 18.

Dover will end their season away to Forest Green Rovers on April 25.
