The National League have revealed key dates ahead of the 2025-26 season.

The eagerly awaited fixture release date, when City will find out their maiden Step One opponents, is just over a month away on Wednesday, July 9.

Just a month later, on Saturday, August 9, all three leagues (National League, National League North and National League South) begin.

In a slight change to the end date of the season, compared to 2024-25, all three leagues will end on Saturday, April 25.

And finally, the play-off finals from all three National League divisions, will take place over the weekend of Saturday, May 9 and Sunday, May 10, 2026 – once again a change to that seen last term, when play-off matches started in April and didn’t end until early June.
