BURY have drawn Sunderland at home in the first round of the Carabao Cup, the new name of the League Cup.
Sunderland, who are due to visit Gigg Lane for a pre-season friendly on Friday, July 7, were relegated from the Premier League last season.
They are currently managerless after previous boss David Moyes resigned at the end of the campaign.
The match will be played in the week starting August 7, following the first weekend of the League One season.
