Dorking Wandering
The Dorking Wanderers FC Fans Forum
Seen a few comments about which teams will be in our league for next season so here are the confirmed teams for next season as it stands:
Dorking Wanderers
Weston-super-Mare
Hornchurch
Farnborough
Chelmsford City
Chesham United
Hemel Hempstead Town*
Chippenham Town
Bath City
Slough Town
Tonbridge Angels
Hampton & Richmond
Enfield Town
Salisbury
Horsham
Ebbsfleet United
*Hemel are the only question mark here. As it stands, my guess would be that Merthyr Town are placed in the National League North as they are fractionally more north than Hemel are. However, Hemel probably has better transport links so they could move Hemel to the NLN instead and put Merthyr in the NLS.
The other condition is Gloucester City. If they win the Southern League playoffs then it would likely be them who go NLN and Merthyr and Hemel stay south. Gloucester play Walton & Hersham in the playoff semi-final tonight so we will have a better idea by tomorrow.
Bit of a wait then. I thought it was usually mid June it was announced
That's Premier League. EFL is 26 June. Non league seems to be later.
Premier League fixtures are released 18th June 2025
Last year National League fixtures were released 10th July, this year it's 9th July so a day earlier.
Last year the August and September 'Premier League tv changes' were done on 5th July, so ahead of the National League ones.
I have my 2026 diary at the ready already lol. This year (hopefully) the added complication of Thursday night European Palace matches, so that should free up quite a lot of Saturdays for DW games.
