The Fixture Release Date And Opening Weekend Confirmed

By Sam Elliott

Following the formal process of informing member clubs at this weekend’s AGM, we are now in a position to clarify some dates for your diary.

The National League was of course delighted to inform delegates of the extension to the competition’s title sponsorship.

Vanarama will continue its support for a further three years, we announced at Celtic Manor.

But we also informed clubs of the official start date of the 2018-19 season - and when the fixtures will be released.

As you may have seen on social media, supporters can start planning their trips on Wednesday July 4 - with an exact time of publication still to be confirmed.

You are in the right place as the build up to the new campaign gathers momentum.

The start date for the 2018-19 season will be the first weekend in August.

This week we will be bringing you a division-by-division guide now the constitution has been officially decided.

Who’s in what division, what new grounds can you visit and who’s looking in the best shape with pre-season looming? Stay tuned.
