Dale Benkenstein’s side were relegated from Division One after a disappointing 2024 campaign, and will be looking for an instant return next summer.

Six of their seven home matches will be played at Emirates Old Trafford, with the other – against Kent in June – being hosted by Blackpool at Stanley Park from June 22-26.

The clash with Middlesex starts on Friday, April 4, while the Red Rose’s first home match of the campaign begins on April 11 when Northamptonshire visit.

Lancashire’s season concludes at home to Middlesex, starting on September 15 followed by a visit to Cardiff to take on Glamorgan, starting on September 24.
