The first of six games is a friendly at Conference South new boys Whitehawk on Saturday 6th July, kick-off 3pm.
The following Sunday, 14th July, the team fly out to Madrid and will face La Liga side Getafe on Wednesday 17th July at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, kick-off 8.30pm (7.30pm UK time).*
A second fixture, also against Spanish opposition (tbc), on the Saturday evening will take place at a venue in the Madrid region.

"Albion’s head of football operations David Burke said, “Working closely with our medical and sports science teams, we have put together an ideal pre-season programme, both here in the UK and in a warmer weather climate down in Spain. Our schedule also gives fans some great games to look forward to against high quality opposition as well as the usual tough matches against some of our local rivals.”
