Millers kick off against MK Dons

THE Millers start their 2015/16 Championship campaign at home to newly-promoted MK Dons on August 8.

That's followed by a trip to Nottingham Forest a week later, while the first month of fixtures is completed by home dates against Preston and Fulham sandwiched either side of a trip to QPR, just down from the Premier League.

Other highlights include Sheffield Wednesday's trip to the AESSEAL New York Stadium on October 24, with the return at Hillsborough on the first Saturday in March. Rotherham visit Leeds United on November 21 and host them on April 2.

Steve Evans' men won't have to travel on Boxing Day — they entertain Bolton Wanderers — and the season concludes on May 7 with a trip to another team looking to bounce back to the top flight at the first attempt, Hull City.
