2020/21 fixtures release

The league season gets underway on Saturday September 19 with a full programme of games across the three divisions.

In the Premier Division, still reigning play-off champions Warrington Town travel to Basford United in one of the stand-out fixtures, while FC United host Nantwich Town in what will technically be their first game back in the NPL after last season’s null and void campaign was scrubbed from the records.

South Shields welcome the re-named Mickleover FC to the 1st Cloud Arena, and fellow north east side Morpeth Town are also at home, to Grantham Town.

After their strong summer of recruitment, Buxton entertain Radcliffe and the other of the three sides promoted to the Premier Division last summer, Atherton Collieries, are at home to Scarborough Athletic.

In the South East Division, the two runaway contenders before coronavirus put paid to the last campaign, Leek Town and Stamford, both start at home - to Wisbech Town and Glossop North End respectively.

The new management team at Worksop Town welcome Loughborough Dynamo for their first game, while Ilkeston Town travel to Cleethorpes Town in another match to keep an eye on.

In the North West Division, unfortunately the withdrawal of Droylsden means one team will sit out on every match day - and the team missing out on the first weekend is Colne.

After their first ever relegation last summer, Marine travel to Dunston to open their campaign, while Workington and Ramsbottom United are also on the road, at Pickering Town and Widnes.

Two sides under new management who will have play-off aspirations meet in Yorkshire, with Pontefract Collieries hosting Runcorn Linnets.

S/East and N/West Division clubs, as well as a handful of Premier Division clubs, will taste competitive action prior to the league season starting - with the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round taking place next week, and then the Preliminary Round on September 12.

The first midweek after the league season starts will be the FA Cup first qualifying round, on Tuesday September 22.

The final day of the season is slated for Saturday May 8, with games also being played on the May Day Bank Holiday on Monday May 3.
