Two League One promotion contenders meet on the opening day of the 2024/25 season as Peterborough United take on Huddersfield Town.
After the play-off capitulation against Sheffield Wednesday the previous campaign, there was more play-off heartbreak for Peterborough last season as they suffered defeat to Oxford United in the semi-finals.
They will be looking to mount another promotion bid this year and their opponents Huddersfield will have similar aspirations after dropping down from the Championship.
