Horspath will break new ground in the opening round of fixtures in the 2026 Home Counties Premier Cricket League with a trip to Thames Valley League champions Ickenham.
Amin's Rafiq's side, who finished in a highly-creditable fifth place on their return to Division 2 this year, will make the trip down the M40 to the Middlesex club on Saturday, May 9.
Ickenham claimed the Thames Valley title last season by five points from Burnham on a dramatic final day.
Going into the last game, Ickenham trailed Burnham by 12 points but an 81-run win at Eversley combined with their rivals falling to a five-wicket defeat at Amersham saw them snatch the crown.
Horspath's seasonal opener will be followed by consecutive home games against Wargave, who were relegated from Division 1, and Datchet.
Stoke Green, the other relegated side, visit the Recreation Ground on June 6, while Horspath are away to Cherwell League champions Challow & Childrey on June 27.
In between, Horspath make the short trip to local rivals Oxford on June 13 with the return fixture at the Rec on August 15.
The season is completed with a trip to Thame Town on September 5.
