LEAMINGTON will begin life back in the Southern League with a trip to Real Bedford on the opening day of the season.

The Southern League released the fixtures for the 2026/27 season with Leamington back in the Premier Central division following relegation from the National League North last term.

And the Brakes will begin the campaign away at last season’s beaten play-off finalists Real Bedford on Saturday, August 8.

Scott Easterlow’s side will then welcome newly-promoted Anstey Nomads to the Your Co-op Community Stadium on Tuesday, August 11 in the club’s first home game of the season.

Leamington close out the first month of the campaign with a home game against Kettering Town (August 15), a trip to Bury Town (August 22), a home match against Worcester City (August 29) and a trip to Stourbridge (August 31).

The Brakes play three league games in September with Halesowen Town to visit the Your Co-op Community Stadium (September 22) in the club’s only home game of the month.




And Leamington play seven league games in October which includes a trip to Stratford Town (October 10).

The Brakes play five games in November and four in December with Leamington on the road at Hitchin Town (December 19) in the club’s last game before Christmas.


And a blockbuster derby clash with local rivals Racing Club Warwick awaits on Boxing Day (December 26) as the Brakes head to Townsend Meadow in their final game of 2026.

Leamington begin the New Year with a home game against Stourbridge (January 2) before hosting Stratford later in the month (January 16).

The Brakes play four games in February and five games in March with Leamington to host rivals Warwick in a derby clash in the club’s penultimate home game of the season (March 29).

The final month of the campaign sees the Brakes head to Worcester City (April 3), make the trip to Alvechurch (April 10) before Leamington entertain Leighton Town (April 17) on the final day of the season.
