Sutton United couldn’t have hoped for a more glamorous opening to their season as they welcome Leyton Orient to Gander Green Lane on August 5.

BT Sport will broadcast United’s first game of the Vanarama National League live.

The U’s experienced the ‘magic’ of the FA Cup last year when they beat AFC Wimbledon and Leeds United before being defeated by Arsenal in the fifth round.

Leyton Orient had played in the English Football League since 1905 before being relegated from League Two last season.

August 5 will be a clash between two of the most recognisable teams in the league.
