AFC Mansfield Confirms 25/26 Preseason Fixtures

AFC Mansfield is happy to confirm our pre-season schedule ahead of the United Counties Premier League North 2025/26 campaign.

The Bulls will kick off their pre-season on Tuesday, 1st July 2025, with a home fixture against Leicester-based Anstey Nomads, who currently compete in the Northern Premier League Midlands Division.

Anstey enjoyed a strong 2024/25 season, finishing third in their league. The match will also see the return of a familiar face to the Forest Town Arena, as former fan favourite Jordan Annable is set to feature against his old club.

Saturday football returns that weekend as AFC Mansfield host newly promoted Step 4 side Hallam in their second pre-season fixture. Hallam earned promotion from the Northern Counties East League following a successful campaign. The fixture will also mark the return of former AFC Mansfield manager Matt Chatfield, who is now a member of Hallam’s coaching staff.

Pre-season will conclude with an away trip to face Wakefield on Tuesday, 22nd July 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 7:45 PM.

News on player signings and retained players will be announced in due course via our official social media channels.

We can’t wait to welcome you all back to the Forest Town Arena as we prepare for an exciting new season!
