Telford have been made the bookies’ favourites to lift the Blue Square North title after the fixtures were released last week.
The Bucks kick off the season with a home match against Blyth Spartans on Saturday, August 8, followed by trips to Stalybridge Celtic and Fleetwood Town in their opening three games.
And the bookies believe Telford have a great chance to finally clinch promotion this term.
The Bucks are 6/1 joint favourites to win the title alongside the team they beat in the play off semi finals last season Alfreton Town.
Fleetwood Town, who have splashed the cash during the summer, and Southport, are also strongly fancied to compete for the title.
The fixtures were released on Friday and other dates for fans’ diaries will be a home match with Stafford Rangers on Boxing Day, with the reverse fixture on New Year’s Day.
Gloucester City host the Bucks on August Bank Holiday with Telford welcoming them on Easter Monday.
The Bucks’ final game of the season is a trip to Vauxhall Motors on April 24.
Manager Rob Smith said it was “the toughest possible start” to the campaign.
He said: “I always find Blyth to be a tough game so that certainly won’t be easy.
“And with two difficult away fixtures coming up after that I don’t think you could ask for a much harder start.
“The aim will be to come through those three games unbeaten and that would stand us in good stead.
“It all seems a bit closer once the fixtures come out, and I’m really looking forward to it now.”
This weekend Telford begin their pre-season preparations with a visit to Market Drayton Town. Kick off is 3pm.
Port Vale then visit the Bucks Head on Tuesday night with a 7.45pm kick off.
