#FixtureReleaseDay is now less than 24 hours away – not long to go until the Dons discover their schedule for the 2017/18 campaign!
EFL fixtures for the 2017/18 season are due to be announced this Wednesday at 9am and will see all three divisions of the EFL kick-off over the weekend Friday 4th to Sunday 6th August.
The regular season will continue until the weekend of 5th May 2018, when Sky Bet League One, as well as Sky Bet Championship and Sky Bet League Two, will all come to a close.
