Rochdale's pre-season friendly dates

Dale will be back in action on Tuesday 12 July when they play AFC Fylde in their first friendly

Rochdale will play seven pre-season friendlies this summer, including two at Spotland.

After returning from the week long pre-season camp in Tenerife, Rochdale will start their game schedule with a trip to AFC Fylde on Tuesday 12 July.

The squad will be split across two fixtures, when they face Curzon Ashton and Stockport County (on the same day) just a few days later.

A double header against Championship opposition at Spotland follows, as Dale host Blackburn Rovers (Tuesday 19 July) and Wigan Athletic (Saturday 23 July).

Trips to Macclesfield Town and FC United bring an end to the pre-season schedule before the 2016-17 Sky Bet League One season gets underway.
