The wait is finally over. Worcester Raiders can now look ahead to an exciting new chapter after the release of the 2026/27 Southern League Division One South fixture list.

Following promotion last season, the Raiders will compete at Step 4 of the National League System for the very first time in the club’s history, taking on some of the biggest and most established clubs in non-league football.

This season represents another major milestone in the club’s remarkable journey and promises to be one of the most exciting campaigns ever for everyone connected with Worcester Raiders.

Opening Day Away to Bishops Cleeve

The Raiders begin life in the Southern League with an away trip to Bishops Cleeve on Tuesday 11th August, before welcoming Larkhall Athletic to Worcester for the club’s first-ever Southern League home fixture on Saturday 15th August.

That opening home game promises to be a memorable occasion as supporters welcome Southern League football to Worcester.

Exciting Home Fixtures

Supporters have plenty to look forward to throughout the season, with several attractive home fixtures including:

* Larkhall Athletic
* Falmouth Town
* Slimbridge AFC
* Westbury United
* Bristol Manor Farm
* Barnstaple Town
* Exmouth Town
* Melksham Town
* Bideford
* Shaftesbury
* Tiverton Town
* Paulton Rovers
* Hungerford Town
* SC Inkberrow

The fixture list also sees long-distance trips to clubs including Weymouth, Falmouth Town, Portland United, Barnstaple Town, Exmouth Town and Bideford, providing supporters with some fantastic away days across the South West.

A Season Full of New Challenges

The Southern League brings stronger opposition, new grounds and fresh challenges every week.

Manager, players and supporters alike will relish testing themselves against clubs with rich histories while continuing the club’s ambition of establishing itself at Step 4.

Having earned promotion through hard work, togetherness and determination, the Raiders will be aiming to build on last season’s success and continue their incredible rise through the non-league pyramid.

Every point matters in what promises to be a hugely competitive league, and the support from the Worcester Raiders family will once again be vital.

Whether you’re a long-time supporter or attending your first game, we’d love to see you behind the team throughout the 2026/27 campaign.
