Neil Lennon will kick off his first full season as Dunfermline boss with a tough away clash against Morton as the 2025/26 fixtures are revealed.
The former Celtic and Hibernian manager took charge of the Pars for seven games at the end of last term and subsequently agreed a two-year deal over the summer recess.
He has admitted the ambitions for the Fifers are to be challenging for promotion back to the Premiership.
And they start with a trip to Cappielow – where they finished 2024/25 – on August 2 before Airdrie are the first visitors to East End Park a week later.
The Pars have to wait until August 30 to host Ross County, one of two teams to have dropped down from the top-flight.
They then face St Johnstone, the other, at McDiarmid Park on match-day seven, September 20.
Lennon, a veteran of Old Firm and Edinburgh derbies, will not have to wait long for his first taste of the Fife version, with a trip to Stark’s Park scheduled for August 23.
The festive fixture against their foes takes place in Kirkcaldy on December 27, which means the New Year match is against County on January 3.
The Fifers conclude the campaign with a home game against Arbroath on May 1.
