Last updated : 17 June 2015 By Kieran Makin

Wigan Athletic get their 2015/16 League One campaign underway away at Coventry City's Ricoh Arena on the 8th August.

The first League home game follows a week later on the 15th August as the Latics host Doncaster Rovers.

Wigan also host Sheffield United at the DW Stadium on Boxing Day, before travelling to Fleetwood Town's Highbury on the 28th December Bank Holiday Monday.

Gary Caldwell's Latics finish their away fixtures in the penultimate match, with a trip to the seaside to face Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on 30th April. 

Both teams were relegated from the Championship together alongside Millwall.

The final game of the season is at home against Barnsley on 8th May. The last time Wigan played in this division was 2003 and they also played Barnsley at home in the last game.

Latics recorded a 1-0 victory over their opponents back then, which completed a 100 point title winning season.
