IPSWICH will launch the Jim Magilton management era with a home clash against Crystal Palace.
The 2006-2007 fixtures, revealed today, have paired Town with the Eagles on the opening day, August 5.
With away games at Wolves, three days later, and Leicester on August 12 it represents a tough start as Ipswich face three teams who will be among the favourites for promotion to the Premiership.
The East Anglian derby games against Norwich take place on November 18 at Portman Road and on April 21 at Carrow Road.

Portsmouth, who escaped relegation to the Championship last season, host Blackburn while Iain Dowie's first challenge as Charlton boss sees his side travel to FA Cup runners-up West Ham.
Manchester United have a tough opener to September which will go a long way to establishing whether they can capture their first Premiership title since 2003.
The Red Devils host Tottenham and Arsenal on 9 and 16 September.
Sir Alex Ferguson's boys will have to wait until 9 December for their contest against rivals Manchester City, while the first of the Merseyside derby fixtures will take place at Goodison Park on 9 September.
Chelsea face a tough run-in to their programme as they will travel to Arsenal in their penultimate fixture before hosting Everton in their final match.
Manchester United close with the visit of West Ham, while Liverpool will welcome Charlton to Anfield on 13 May.
