Pre-Season Friendlies 2025

Rugby Town have released their pre-season schedule ahead of the 2025/26 season.

With Valley's NPL reprieval the friendly schedule has changed with three home games scheduled.

The home opponents will see Southern League Premier Central side Alvechurch visit Butlin Road on Saturday 19 July with games against Leicester St Andrews and OJM following.

Three away friendlies will start the pre-season campaign with visits to Southern League duo Stratford Town and Redditch United before a Thursday night trip to Walsall Wood who dropped out of the NPL Midlands last season but have reformed in the Midland Football League Division Three.

The first competitive game of the season is likely to be in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round on Saturday 2nd August 2025 although this is to be confirmed and may depend on the UCL schedule.
