2026/27 Pre-season friendlies

May 20, 2026

The Magpies pre-season friendly schedule has been confirmed with six friendlies finalised ahead of the new 26/27 season.

New boss Glenn Howes returns to The Avenue with his Magpies side kicking off their preparations on Saturday 11 July at home to Moneyfields.

Our first away friendly follows at Cobham Sports on the Tuesday night before we're back at home hosting Winchester City the following Saturday.

Two trips to the New Forest then follow, as we head to Brockenhurst in midweek before visiting Bashley four days later.

Our final friendly then takes place one week before the new season kicks off as we host AFC Portchester at The Avenue.

The new 2026/27 Southern League Division One South campaign starts the following weekend on Saturday 8 August.

All home pre-season friendlies are included in our 2026/27 season tickets which go on sale next month - more details HERE
