Dunfermline fixtures: 2024/25 Championship schedule sees Pars handed tough Livingston opener

The East End Park men have learned what lies ahead next season.

Dunfermline’s fixtures for the 2024/25 season have been revealed.

The Pars will kick off the new campaign on August 3 with an away trip to newly-relegated Livingston – who they also face a fortnight earlier in the Premier Sports Cup.

That is followed by a home clash with bitter rivals – and ‘invincible’ League One champions – Falkirk a week later.

The first Fife derby takes place on September 14 at East End Park, with the second on December 14.

That means there is no New Year derby. Instead, the East End Park men will first foot Partick Thistle on January 4.

James McPake’s side lost just one of their opening six league games last season but went on to flirt with a relegation battle before eventually finishing sixth.
