Steve discusses the 25/26 fixture list

There must have been a sense of de ja vu for Paul Wotton when the National League South fixtures for the 2025-26 National League South campaign were announced, as Torquay United host Enfield Town at Plainmoor on the opening day for the second successive campaign in a row.

The Gulls won 2-1 on that occasion, and Wotton will be aiming to try and replicate the outcome of that game. This will then be followed by the first of four trips to the county of Kent for United as they travel to Maidstone United before hosting AFC Totton in their first midweek home game of the season, which will also be the first ever meeting between the two sides.

The 2025-26 campaign will also see the Gulls in action over four Bank Holidays; the first of which will be when they host recently promoted Dover Athletic on Monday, 25th August.

Over the festive season, United host Weston Super Mare on Boxing Day and Gulls fans will be hoping for a repeat of the 4-2 victory over the Seagulls in their last meeting at Plainmoor in November 2024. In the absence of a New Year’s Day fixture, United travel to Bath City on Tuesday, 30th December.

The Gulls will then begin 2026 with a trip to Dover Athletic on 3rd January 2026, before playing host to Hampton and Richmond Borough a week later in their first home fixture of the calendar year.

Good Friday and Easter Monday will see the return fixtures against Weston Super Mare and Bath take place with United visiting the Seagulls at the Optima Stadium on Friday, 3rd April, 2026, before they play host to the Romans, who will include several former Gulls in Ollie Tomlinson, Will Jenkins Davies, Brad Ash and Alex Fisher, on Monday, 6th April.

United’s final three fixtures of the campaign through up a trip to Slough Town before they face Hemel Hempstead Town in their final home fixture ahead of their journey to Tonbridge Angels on the final day.
