The game will take place week commencing 11th August, and is the second time in recent memory we will have faced the Rams, beating them at Sincil Bank a few years ago.
Derby last season became the worst team ever in the Premier League, but they are unlikely to roll over and let Peter Jacksons Lincoln side advance in the competition.
The clash means the upcoming friendly with the Rams has been cancelled at Derbys request. We were due to play on 26th July.
