Town will learn their EFL Trophy opponents when the draw for the group stage is made on Friday 12th July at 12.30pm.
The draw for the competition, known as the Checkatrade Trophy in recent seasons, will take place on talkSPORT.
The Blues’ first ever EFL Trophy campaign gets under way in the week commencing September 2nd with the games streamed by the EFL.
The competition is regionalised on a north-south basis with eight groups of four in each. Those groups will feature three senior sides drawn from Leagues One and Two plus one academy category one U21 team, who play all their matches away from home.
Town’s group will almost certainly not feature Norwich City’s youngsters with the authorities having prevented "high-profile clashes” with local rivals at that stage of the competition in previous seasons.
Details for the #EFLTrophy Round One Group Stage draw are as follows:
