2026/27 Northern Premier League fixtures released
Fixtures for the 2026/27 Northern Premier League season across all four divisions have been released.
The league season in the NPL Premier Division gets underway on Saturday 8 August. On that same weekend, a number of Step 4 clubs will be in FA Cup extra preliminary round action, with the rest in league action.
In fact, the opening four Saturdays of the season will see Step 4 teams in FA Cup and Trophy action as the early rounds of both competitions take place.
The season begins on August 8 and concludes with the final day of the regular season on Saturday 17 April.
Games over the festive period are scheduled for Boxing Day (Saturday 26 December), with the customary New Year’s fixtures to be played on Saturday 2 January.
All the games from those four key dates across all four divisions are listed below.
