The Exiles' first fixture in the competition is scheduled to take place on the week commencing Monday 30th August. 

Their second clash will take place on the week commencing Monday 4th October before their final group-stage game, which is set to take place on the week commencing Monday 8th November. 

County reached the semi-finals of the competition two seasons ago, falling to a 6-5 penalty shoot-out defeat against Salford City at Rodney Parade.
