The season will conclude on Saturday, May 2, with Argyle’s final opponents being Northampton Town, away.

The festive period sees Argyle at home on Boxing Day for the first time since 2016. Reading will be the visitors, and they will be followed by Wycombe Wanderers, who come to Home Park on December 29. New Year’s Day is a trip to Stevenage.
