KING'S Lynn Stars begin their treble defence against Rye House at the Norfolk Arena in the Premier Trophy on Wednesday, March 31.
Tomas Topinka leads a new-look septet against the Rockets in their first competitive outing of the new season a week after the traditional Ashley Jones memorial meeting curtain raiser.
The Stars also face home and away Trophy tussles against Newport and Somerset alongside old A10 foes Rye House during the opening full month of the new campaign.
Lynn's Premier League bid starts with a trip to cross-border neighbours Scunthorpe on Friday, April 16 before Sheffield visit Saddlebow the following week.
The Stars' Premier League KO Cup defence begins with an intriguing match up against Glasgow. Lynn will look to keep it tight north of the border in the opening leg on Sunday, May 2 before the return four days later.
Lyon's men have targeted an historic fifth KO Cup success in the past six seasons to continue their dominance of speedway's second tier since 2005.
