Preston confirmed they will be taking on Premiership side and local rivals Blackburn Rovers at Deepdale on Saturday 4 August. The match is just a week before the season starts.
It is not an unusual fixture with the two sides meeting several times throughout the years in pre-season games. Further matches are to be arranged shortly but the usual suspect are set to arise in the list such as Bamber Brisge and Chorley along with a possible weekend away!
