Ebbsfleet United have been handed a stern opening-day test on their return to the National League.

Fleet, promoted as runaway National South champions, make the long journey north to face a Rochdale side who were relegated from League 2.

Home games against Solihull Moors and Aldershot Town follow, before another trek north, this time to Gateshead.

Fleet will entertain Bromley at Stonebridge Road on Boxing Day, making the return journey to Hayes Lane on New Year’s Day.

Dennis Kutrieb’s men end the season away to Boreham Wood on April 20.
