The league season kicks off the visit of newly-promoted Darlaston Town, who won the play-offs in the Midland Football League Premier at the end of last season, on Saturday 10th August.
Darlaston were opponents of Valley back in the West Midlands (Regional) League days between 1975-1982 and since Carl Adams joined the club back in 2018, Rugby have won four and drawn two of the opening league games of the season, including last season's 1-0 win over Sutton Coldfield at Butlin Road.
The first away trip sees a visit to Corby Town on Wednesday 14th August - last season's visit to Steel Park was one of the most memorable games of the season with the nine men of Rugby holding Corby to a draw.
The first competitive game kicks off a week before the league fixtures start in the Emirates FA Cup with a trip to Wolverhampton Casuals.
Rugby will play a second successive season in the NPL Midlands aftering keeping their status in Step Four (of the non-league pyramid) with a final day win over Boldmere St Michaels back in April.
All Step Four leagues are expanding to 22 teams from the 2024/25 season which means an additional four league games to fit into the fixture calendar.
Some of the fixtures early in the season will be subject to change depending on progress of teams in the FA Cup and FA Trophy.
Rugby will host league newbies Racing Club Warwick on the August Bank Holiday fixture with the return game on New Year's Day.
The traditional Boxing Day fixture will see Bedworth United visit Butlin Road with the reverse fixture on Easter Monday in late April.
The season will finish with a home game against Sutton Coldfield Town.
