Boston United have published their 2026‑27 fixture list, confirming a packed opening month that pits the Shots against Aldershot Town at home on August 8 before a road test at Solihull Moors on August 15. The schedule also marks the club’s third season back in the National League’s top flight, with early‑season momentum seen as essential for a mid‑table side that sits 12th with 59 points after 46 games.

When does the season kick off and who are the early opponents?

The first home game arrives on Saturday, August 8, when Boston United host Aldershot Town at the Jakemans Community Stadium. A week later the Pilgrims travel to Solihull Moors, kicking off a series of back‑to‑back fixtures that include a September 5 clash with Tamworth away and a September 12 home tie against Wealdstone. The club has also scheduled a Tuesday night match against Woking on September 15, adding variety to the early calendar.

Which matches could define Boston United’s league campaign?

Key dates stand out: a December 26 trip to Hartlepool United and a December 28 home game against Harrogate Town, both slated for prime‑time kick‑offs. The FA Cup also looms, with a fourth‑round qualifying tie on October 17 and a first‑round proper fixture on November 7. Later in the season, the Pilgrims face York, the league leaders, in a potential title‑race showdown, though they currently trail by 49 points.

How do the broadcast arrangements affect fans?

DAZN will carry several home fixtures at alternative kick‑off times, including the Altrincham game on a Saturday at 12.30 pm and the Scunthorpe United clash at 5.30 pm. The broadcaster will continue to select matches for live coverage through January, with further selections expected from mid‑December onward. This ensures that supporters can watch crucial moments, especially during the busy winter period.

What does the current form suggest about Boston United’s prospects?

The Shots entered the spring on a high note, stringing together four consecutive wins, the most recent being a 3‑1 victory over Hartlepool United on April 25. Their season tally reads 63 goals scored and 67 conceded, leaving a –4 goal difference. While the club remains 12th in the National League, the recent run (WWWWD) hints at a possible climb if the squad maintains consistency.

Boston United’s 2026‑27 calendar promises a blend of challenging away trips and lucrative home fixtures. With a solid start already mapped out, the Pilgrims will look to turn their recent winning streak into a sustained push up the table.
