Cheshire Phoenix will get their British Basketball League season under way at home to Surrey Scorchers on Sunday, October 8.
The Surrey clash kick-starts of a run of three straight BBL Championship games at the Cheshire Oaks Arena to begin the 2017-18 league campaign.
But second up for Cheshire will be a trip to Bristol Flyers in the BBL Cup on Friday, October 13.
Phoenix missed out on the play-offs last season after a series of changes both on and off the court.
But, with Ben Thomas having been handed the head coach role on a permanent basis after an impressive interim spell at the back of the 2016-17 campaign, hopes are high of a top-eight finish this time around.
Those hopes have been strengthened by an eye-catching summer recruitment campaign that has seen the Nix make seven signings so far.
Cheshire general manager James Brice said: "The team is nearly complete, and it’s full of people we know and can trust, and who have BBL experience.
"Hopefully it'll mean we avoid all the chopping and changing that has happened in recent years. As I've said before, no-one wants that to happen.
"Apart from CJ (Gettys) and Alassan (Touray), they all know the league, know the venues, know the teams, and know how it works, so hopefully it will take less time to gel and settle down.”
