City face Wolves and Burnley at bet365 Stadium as pre-season plans confirmed
Robins’ side will travel to Andalusia for training camp
Potters face behind-closed-doors clash against Shrewsbury before trip to Crewe

Stoke City will face two Premier League sides at the bet365 Stadium in pre-season, as Mark Robins’ side prepare for the 25/26 Championship campaign.

The Potters, who will also travel to Andalusia for a training camp in July, will contest friendlies against both Wolves and Burnley in ST4 on the two final weekends of pre-season respectively.

The Potters return to Clayton Wood on Thursday, June 26 for pre-season testing before a full week’s training precedes their first fixture, a behind-closed-doors friendly at City's training ground against Shrewsbury Town, on Wednesday, July 9.

Two days later, Robins’ side fly to south-west Spain, where they will spend six days, albeit supporters are being made aware that no ticketed fixture is currently included within the itinerary for the trip.

Upon their return, City will then remain local for their final three fixtures, which commence with a short trip across the A500 on Wednesday, July 23, to face Crewe Alexandra at the Mornflake Stadium (7.30pm kick-off).

A bet365 Stadium double header then sees Wolverhampton Wanderers make the trip up the M6 on Saturday, July 26, before Burnley arrive from Lancashire a week later. Both fixtures will kick-off at 3pm.
