Countdown to Kickoff: National League Fixtures Set to Shape the Season
Alright, football fans, the wait is almost over — fixture release day is finally here! For followers of the Enterprise National League, this is one of the most anticipated moments of the year. Whether you're a die-hard supporter, a club staffer, or just a football romantic, there's nothing quite like seeing the roadmap for the season ahead.
At exactly 1pm on Wednesday, July 9th, the full fixture list for the 2025/26 Enterprise National League season — including the National League North and South — will be released. It’s the signal that the new season is truly on the horizon. The matches start rolling on Saturday, August 9th, and from then on, it's 46 matchdays packed into 33 weekends, 10 midweek games, and four bank holiday bonanzas. Think Boxing Day, Good Friday, and Easter Monday — those traditional dates that always stir up football magic.
And let’s not forget the added spice of the cup competitions. The FA Cup and FA Trophy fixtures are also key points in the calendar. Clubs from the North and South divisions will begin their FA Cup journeys on September 13th, while the top-tier National League sides jump in on October 11th. The FA Trophy kicks off for lower divisions on November 15th, and National teams join in on December 13th. It's all carefully structured — and fans can now start dreaming of big upsets, cup runs, and historic matchups.

Wondering where to find your team’s fixtures? They’ll all be available on the National League’s official site under the 'Schedule' page. You’ll be able to filter by division and team — so whether you’re supporting Carlisle United, Truro City, or Woking, your journey starts there.
Now, speaking of Carlisle United — they’ve got one of the most demanding travel calendars this season. With a whopping 10,629 miles of travel on the cards and a monster 878-mile round trip to Truro City, this season is going to test more than just form. Still, head coach Mark Hughes remains unfazed. He’s already looking ahead to planning the logistics and eyeing crucial periods like the opening game, festive fixtures, and that ever-important run-in at the tail end of the season.
The release of fixtures also brings excitement from broadcasters. DAZN is expected to announce its first picks for televised matches within a week of fixture day. That’s another reason to keep your eyes peeled — your club could be getting some well-deserved spotlight.
So, here we are. This isn’t just a day to refresh your browser and print off your club’s schedule. This is where hope begins. This is where dreams are quietly penciled into the calendar. Who will you be playing on opening day? Where will the season climax? Can you spot your toughest month — or your most hopeful stretch?
The fixtures are out. The stage is set. Let the planning, the travelling, the banter, and the dreaming begin. Football’s back — and it starts with today.
