Hibs confirm pre-season friendly schedule as Norwich City headline trio of EFL tests

Hibs have confirmed their pre-season schedule ahead of the 2022/23 Premiership season.

It's a period of change at Easter Road as former Sunderland boss Lee Johnson takes over from previous head coach Shaun Maloney following a bottom six finish last term.

To prepare for their new campaign that begins on July 9th in the Premier Sports Cup against Clyde, Hibs will head to Portugal for a warm weather training camp.

Their first friendly will come against League Two side Hartlepool United on June 29th, now managed by former Hearts midfielder Paul Hartley.

Then they will round off that intense training period abroad with a game against League One side Burton Albion two days later.

That takes place on July 24th, the weekend prior to Premiership business getting underway. They will find out their entire pre-split fixture card later this week when the fixtures for 22/23 are unveiled.

Hartlepool United (A): 29th June, 11am
