The Blues travel to Roots Hall to take on the Shrimpers on Wednesday July 22, with a 7.45pm kick off.

Town have already confirmed that they will be playing Brentford at Griffin Park the week before as they continue their close relationship with the League Two champions.

Ipswich are also scheduled to entertain Colchester United on Saturday July 25 as part of Fabian Wilnis' testimonial.
