Although the Blues have already secured their survival, Fratton Park is taking centre stage for the relegation fight involving the Tigers, who have to win to keep their Championship hopes alive.
After John Mousinho’s men sealed their safety last week, a party atmosphere is expected at a sold-out PO4 on Saturday after an impressive first season back in the second tier for more than 12 years.
Beyond that, there will be another busy summer behind the scenes as Pompey prepare for next term, which will include a first south coast derby meeting with Southampton in six years.
Pre-season plans have yet to be confirmed but there are still plenty of other key dates for the Fratton faithful to look forward to in the coming months.
Here are some of the most important landmarks to book into the diary.
