This will be the first time Notts have met Eastleigh.
The Spitfires reached the play-off semi-finals last season, losing out to Salford City on penalties after defeating Wrexham 1-0 at the Racecourse Ground.
Notts will start away from home in the first game for the eighth time in nine seasons.
Notts’ opening day record of late is poor, winning only one of their last six opening day encounters.
