It will be the first meeting between the Cobblers and MK Dons since the league one campaign of 2020/21, and Town's first trip to Stadium MK since February 2021, when they were beaten 4-3.

The two clubs swapped places on the last day of the 2022/23 season, with the Cobblers winning promotion from league two, and Dons sliding to relegation to the bottom tier for the first time since 2019.

That resulted in them sacking manager Mark Jackson, and last week they announced the experienced Graham Alexander as their new head coach.

Alexander has previously managed Fleetwood Town, Scunthorpe United, Salford City and Motherwell.

The former Scotland international has been out of work since leaving the Steelmen by mutual consent in July, 2022.

The match is the second Cobblers pre-season friendly to be confirmed, following the news that Sky Bet Championship side Birmingham City will visit Sixfields on Wednesday, July 19.

The club are also travelling to St Andrews University in Scotland for a week long training camp from July 2.
