With Euro 2024 running from this Friday through to July 14th, there’s plenty of international action to keep fans ticking over until the domestic season restarts. Pre-season friendlies are also right around the corner and while Hibs may not have any players called up by Steve Clarke for Scotland, supporters can look ahead to their first pre-season clash, which has now been confirmed by the club.

After finishing in the bottom half of the Scottish Premiership table last season, the Hibees will be hoping for a stronger run once the new campaign gets up and running again. As announced on the club’s website, the first game on the 2024/25 pre-season calendar will see Hibs take on Edinburgh City. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the clash.

Hibs will travel to Meadowbank Stadium to face Scottish League 2 side Edinburgh City on Saturday, June 29th. Kick-off is scheduled to get underway at 1pm. The occasion will mark David Gray’s first match in charge as Hibs head coach.

Getting to Meadowbank

Hibs fans will need to make the short journey to Meadowbank, which is just 1.4 miles from Easter Road. While those close to Hibs’ home might enjoy the walk, the stadium can also be accessed by both car and public transport.

Fans travelling from further out can get the train to Waverley Station, which is approximately a 30 minute walk from the ground. Alternatively, bus numbers 8 and 44 run between Princes Street and Meadowbank. There are no parking restrictions around the stadium, with on-street parking free in the surrounding streets. Meadowbank Sports Centre does have a customer car park but is likely to have extremely limited availability on match days.
