Harrogate Town 2025/26 fixtures: Sulphurites kick-off new season away at Bristol Rovers

The Sulphurites are going to have to negotiate a tricky-looking trio of early fixtures as their sixth League Two campaign gets underway on Saturday, August 2.

First up is that visit to the Gas, who were relegated from League One at the end of last term, then, the following Saturday, Town will run out in front of their own fans for the first time.

Grimsby, who very narrowly missed out on the play-offs last season, are the visitors to Wetherby Road for that August 10 fixture.

Simon Weaver's men are scheduled to be in Carabao Cup first-round action on Wednesday August 13 before they travel to take on Cambridge United - another side that was playing third-tier football last season.

Town finish the month with back-to-back home games against Barrow and Chesterfield, then head to Bromley.

September sees Harrogate pitted against the two other teams that have come down from League One, Crawley (at home on September 6) and Shrewsbury (at home on September 20).

Their first meeting with the clubs promoted from the National League takes place on November 8 when Oldham Athletic visit North Yorkshire. The Sulphurites then travel to Barnet on November 29.

This year’s Boxing Day fixture sees Town venture across the Pennines to go head-to-head with Salford City, before welcoming Tranmere Rovers on New Year’s Day.

Harrogate wrap up their League Two campaign with a home clash against Barnet on May 2.
