The Phase One fixtures have been released for the 2022/23 Cymru Premier season.
Entering its 30th year after the first season back in 1992/93, top-flight football in Wales will begin again on August 13.
Unlike the Premier League and Football League which are beginning on July 30 as a result of a winter World Cup, here in Wales, it is a later start.
After a year of having just three domestic European spots, the league will have its fourth spot back after moving up in the coefficient table.
Airbus UK, who return after their relegation in 2020, kick off the season by welcoming Aberystwyth Town to the Airfield on Friday, August 13.
The New Saints will begin their defence of their league title when they travel to Newtown a day later, meanwhile Pontypridd United host Lee Fowler’s Flint Town United in their first top-flight match.
It will be a busy festive period for many with three games pencilled in from December 23 to December 31.
Festive fixtures see Aberystwyth v Newtown, Caernarfon v Bala, Connah’s Quay v Flint, Penybont v Cardiff Met, Pontypridd v Haverfordwest and TNS v Airbus UK.
Phase One will then conclude on Saturday, January 7, with TNS facing runners-up Bala amongst other fixtures.
