Lions await if Newport progress in EFL Cup
- Published
Newport County will host Championship club Millwall in round one of the EFL Cup if they can overcome Barnet in the preliminary round.
The Exiles enter the competition in the new preliminary stage, with David Hughes' side travelling to The Hive in the week commencing 4 August.
The winners of that tie will then take on Alex Neil's Lions in the week commencing 11 August.
Barnet will be back in the EFL in 2025-26 having won last season's National League title.
The preliminary round has been added this term to reduce the number of clubs in rounds one and two, in order to accommodate all Premier League clubs involved in Europe in round three.
