As we get ready for the new fixtures to be released ahead of the 2023/24 season, we're looking back at how the Chairboys have fared on the opening weekend since the start of the century.
In the previous 23 years, Wycombe have incredibly played 16 fixtures on the first day of the campaign at Adams Park.
This includes a run of six straight consecutive games between 2003 and 2008, which saw the club only lose one of those fixtures.
