The Seasiders make the short trip to Mill Farm to take on National League North champions AFC Fylde on Saturday afternoon.
This will provide fans with their first chance to see new signings Dion Charles and Ilmari Niskanen in Tangerine following their moves at the end of last month.
Defensive pair Michael Ihiekwe and Fraser Horsfall are both likely to miss the start of the pre-season schedule, but are targeting a return to the grass in the next few weeks following their respective surgeries.
The next few weeks will be about getting minutes into the players, and trying out different combinations, but it could also reveal what Ian Evatt sees as his best options in some areas.
Here’s a look at the strongest XI and bench currently available to Blackpool for the trip to Fylde:

11. Niall Ennis
