Swindon Town will play Chelsea under 21s in Southern Group F of the 2019-20 EFL Trophy.
The invited club will join Town, Bristol Rovers and Plymouth Argyle after the draw was completed live on Talksport this lunchtime.
The 48 EFL teams involved had already been placed into groups in order to minimise travel for clubs and supporters, with the remaining 16 invited teams drawn into those pools on Friday afternoon.
Due to EFL rules, invited clubs will be designated as the away team in all three of their fixtures, therefore Richie Wellens side are almost certianly due to play Chelsea at the County Ground with Plymouth also visiting due to the same game being played at Home Park last season.
Therefore, Town will likely travel to the Memorial Stadium for their EFL Trophy fixture against Rovers.
The first ties will be played the week commencing September 2.
