The Reds will face Nottingham Forest in Round One of the Carabao Cup.
The tie will be played at Oakwell over the weekend of 5-6 September, with the precise date to be confirmed shortly.
Nottingham Forest’s last visit to Oakwell was certainly a memorable one, as Patrick Schmidt's injury-time goal in July made sure that the Reds' great escape act continued into the final week, as Barnsley earned a deserved victory in their final home game of the 2020/21 campaign.
