OXFORD United's Blue Square Premier clash at home to Chester City on Tuesday goes ahead, after an FA commission ruled the Cheshire club can now start playing again.
Chester had to postpone fixtures against Grays Athletic and Gatehead because they had not been granted membership by the FA.
But at a meeting between the FA and Football Conference yesterday, they were given the thumbs-up to start their campaign at home to Cambridge tomorrow.
However, they will be forced to start on minus 25 points.
The commission has fined the Conference £5,000, suspended until the start of the 2010-11 season.
The Football Conference chairman, Brian Lee, said: “Our main objective has been achieved, which will allow Chester City to play football on Saturday against Cambridge United.
“We accept the findings and look forward to joining the FA in reviewing our insolvency procedures.”
Tickets for United’s match are now available from the ticket office, or online.
