Oldham Athletic will face MK Dons at Stadium MK in their first game back in the English Football League on Saturday, August 2. The Latics were promoted back to the EFL at the beginning of June after beating Southend United 3-2 in the National League play-off final at Wembley. Kian Harratt’s extra-time winner ended their three-year exile from the EFL. After facing MK Dons, who are one of the favourites for promotion from League Two next season, on the opening day, Micky Mellon’s side will welcome Colchester United in their first home game of the campaign on Saturday, August 9. Boxing Day will see the Latics travel to the coast to face Grimsby Town at Blundell Park. They will conclude their first season back in the EFL with a home game against Accrington Stanley on May 2. Elsewhere, League Two counterparts and neighbours Salford City will start the season at home to Crewe Alexandra on August 2. They will then travel to Notts County, who were beaten in last season’s play-off semi-finals, in their second game of the campaign. The Ammies will bring the curtain down on their 2025/26 campaign with a trip to Crawley Town on May 2. In League One, Stockport County will begin the process of trying to bounce back from last term’s play-off semi-final defeat to Leyton Orient with an opening day clash against Bolton Wanderers at Edgeley Park. The contest has been pencilled in for a 12pm kick-off on Sunday, August 3. They will bring their campaign to an end with a trip to Oakwell to face Barnsley on May 2. 02/08/2025 – Milton Keynes Dons (a) – 15:00 09/08/2025 – Colchester United (h) – 15:00 16/08/2025 – Swindon Town (h) – 15:00 19/08/2025 – Bristol Rovers (a) – 19:45 23/08/2025 – Fleetwood Town (a) – 15:00 30/08/2025 – Gillingham (h) – 15:00 06/09/2025 – Cambridge United (a) – 15:00 13/09/2025 – Bromley (h) – 15:00 20/09/2025 – Cheltenham Town (a) – 15:00 27/09/2025 – Barnet (h) – 15:00 04/10/2025 – Notts County (a) – 15:00 11/10/2025 – Barrow (h) 15:00 18/10/2025 -Salford City (a) – 15:00 25/10/2025 – Shrewsbury Town (h) – 15:00 08/11/2025 – Harrogate Town (a) – 15:00 15/11/2025 – Crewe Alexandra (h) – 15:00 22/11/2025 – Newport County (h) – 15:00 29/11/2025 – Accrington Stanley (a) – 15:00 09/12/2025 – Walsall (h) – 19:45 13/12/2025 – Crawley Town (a) – 15:00 20/12/2025 – Tranmere Rovers (h) – 15:00 26/12/2025 – Grimsby Town (a) – 15:00 29/12/2025 – Walsall (a) – 15:00 01/01/2026 – Chesterfield (h) – 15:00 04/01/2026 – Bromley (a) – 15:00 10/01/2026 – Notts County (h) – 15:00 17/01/2026 – Cheltenham Town (h) – 15:00 24/01/2026 – Barnet (a) – 15:00 27/01/2026 – Barrow (a) – 19:45 31/01/2026 – Cambridge United (h) – 15:00 07/02/2026 – Swindon Town (a) – 15:00 14/02/2026 – Fleetwood Town (h) – 15:00 17/02/2026 – Bristol Rovers (h) – 19:45 21/02/2026 – Gillingham (a) – 15:00 28/02/2026 – Crawley Town (h) – 15:00 07/03/2026 – Tranmere Rovers (a) 15:00 14/03/2026 – Grimsby Town (h) 15:00 17/03/2026 – Chesterfield (a) – 19:45 21/03/2026 – Harrogate Town (h) – 15:00 28/03/2026 – Crewe Alexandra (a) 15:00 03/04/2026 – Colchester United (a) 15:00 06/04/2026 – Milton Keynes Dons (h) 15:00 11/04/2026 – Shrewsbury Town (a) 15:00 18/04/2026 – Salford City (h) – 15:00 25/04/2026 – Newport County (a) – 15:00 02/05/2026 – Accrington Stanley (h) 15:00 02/08/2025 – Crewe Alexandra (h) – 15:00 09/08/2025 – Notts County (a) – 15:00 16/08/2025 – Accrington Stanley (h) – 15:00 19/08/2025 – Newport County (a) – 19:30 23/08/2025 – Walsall (a) – 15:00 30/08/2025 – Cheltenham Town (h) – 15:00 06/09/2025 – Tranmere Rovers (h) – 15:00 13/09/2025 – Shrewsbury Town (a) – 15:00 20/09/2025 – Swindon Town (h) – 15:00 27/09/2025 – Bristol Rovers (a) – 15:00 04/10/2025 – Grimsby Town (h) – 15:00 11/10/2025 – Chesterfield (a) – 15:00 18/10/2025 – Oldham Athletic (h) – 15:00 25/10/2025 – Gillingham (a) – 15:00 08/11/2025 – Cambridge United (h) – 15:00 15/11/2025 – Milton Keynes Dons (a) – 15:00 22/11/2025 – Bromley (a) – 15:00 29/11/2025 – Crawley Town (h) – 15:00 09/12/2025 – Fleetwood Town (a) – 19:45 13/12/2025 – Colchester United (h) – 15:00 20/12/2025 – Barnet (a) 15:00 26/12/2025 – Harrogate Town (h) – 15:00 29/12/2025 – Fleetwood Town (h) – 19:45 01/01/2026 – Barrow (a) 15:00 04/01/2026 – Shrewsbury Town (h) – 15:00 10/01/2026 – Grimsby Town (a) – 15:00 17/01/2026 – Swindon Town (a) – 15:00 24/01/2026 – Bristol Rovers (h) – 15:00 27/01/2026 – Chesterfield (h) – 19:45 31/01/2026 – Tranmere Rovers (a) – 15:00 07/02/2026 – Accrington Stanley (a) – 15:00 14/02/2026 – Walsall (h) – 15:00 17/02/2026 – Newport County (h) – 19:45 21/02/2026 – Cheltenham Town (a) – 15:00 28/02/2026 – Colchester United (a) – 15:00 07/03/2026 – Barnet (h) – 15:00 14/03/2026 – Harrogate Town (a) – 15:00 17/03/2026 – Barrow (h) – 19:45 21/03/2026 – Cambridge United (a) – 15:00 28/03/2026 – Milton Keynes Dons (h) – 15:00 03/04/2026 – Notts County (h) – 15:00 06/04/2026 – Crewe Alexandra (a) – 15:00 11/04/2026 – Gillingham (h) – 15:00 18/04/2026 – Oldham Athletic (a) – 15:00 25/04/2026 – Bromley (h) – 15:00 02/05/2026 – Crawley Town (a) – 15:00 03/08/2025 – Bolton Wanderers (h) – 12:00 09/08/2025 – Wycombe Wanderers (a) – 15:00 16/08/2025 – Leyton Orient (a) – 15:00 19/08/2025 – Bradford City (h) – 19:45 23/08/2025 – Burton Albion (h) – 15:00 30/08/2025 – Wigan Athletic (a) 15:00 06/09/2025 – Plymouth Argyle (a) – 15:00 13/09/2025 – Cardiff City (h) – 15:00 20/09/2025 – Rotherham United (a) – 15:00 27/09/2025 – Reading (h) – 15:00 04/10/2025 – Huddersfield Town (a) – 15:00 11/10/2025 – Blackpool (h) – 15:00 18/10/2025 – Exeter City (h) – 15:00 25/10/2025 – Port Vale (a) – 15:00 08/11/2025 – Luton Town (h) – 15:00 15/11/2025 – A.F.C.
