It's finally here! The 24/25 Sky Bet League One season gets under way on Saturday as City host Rotherham in a 5:30pm kick-off at St James Park!
The Grecians will be looking to start the new season in style after a productive pre-season campaign.
It's a tough start for City, taking on a Rotherham side that was relegated from the Championship last season, and after strengthening, Steve Evans' men will be looking to bounce back at the first opportunity.
The match could see the return of familiar faces in Cameron Dawson, Zak Jules and Sam Nombe.
With nine new faces joining the club there could be some full debuts on Saturday.
