Wick Academy will kick off their 2024/25 Highland League campaign with a home match against Fraserburgh on July 27.
The Broch won 3-0 in both matches between the sides last term, at Harmsworth Park in September and at Bellslea in January, on their way to a third-place finish.
Fixtures for the coming season were issued this week.
The Scorries finished 2023/24 in 12th place after a 4-0 away win at Keith on the final day.
Manager Gary Manson said at the time: “We need to set our sights higher than where we finished this year. That’ll be the target – we’ll be looking upwards rather than downwards.”
With 36 points (10 wins and six draws) from 34 games, Academy ended up four places higher than the previous season and 10 points better off.
Buckie Thistle will begin the defence of the title with a home game against Nairn County
