Blackpool discover 2026/27 League One fixtures - with key dates against likes of Stockport County and Wigan Athletic
The fixtures for the 2026/27 League One season have been revealed.
Blackpool have discovered their fixtures for the 2026/27 League One campaign.
The Seasiders will be looking to improve on their displays from recent times, with the club failing to reach the play-off in their first three attempts since being relegated from the Championship.
Following last season’s 13th place finish, and experience of a relegation battle for long periods, there is certainly a need to kick on under Ian Evatt.
This summer is the 44-year-old’s first in charge, following his appointment back in October.
There’s been highs and lows throughout the former player’s tenure so far, with the former including a strong run in the stages of the previous campaign.
Opening day
The Seasiders’ first home game of the League One season comes against Wycombe Wanderers at Bloomfield Road.
Following a 3-2 defeat to Stevenage on their home patch in last year’s opener, the club will be looking for a better start this time around.
Christmas period
A period that supporters tend to look at first is between Christmas and New Year.
The Seasiders travel to the Accu Stadium to take on Huddersfield Town on Boxing Day, before returning to Bloomfield Road for a meeting with Bradford City on December 29.
Meanwhile, 2027 kicks off with a home game against Doncaster Rovers.
Easter football
Blackpool will spend the first part of the Easter period with a trip to South Yorkshire, with their Good Friday game coming away to Doncaster at the Eco-Power Stadium.
A few days later, they’re back at home against Oxford United.
Final day
Evatt’s side will once again be away from the Fylde Coast for their final game of the campaign.
After finishing last season in Reading, they will be at Kenilworth against Luton Town when the regular season comes to a close on May 8.
Local games
Despite being the only League One team in Lancashire itself, Blackpool still have some juicy North West fixtures to look forward to.
The Seasiders’ first away game of the season comes against Stockport County at Edgeley Park, while the reverse meeting with the Hatters comes on March 13.
Meanwhile, Evatt’s side face Wigan Athletic at Bloomfield Road on November 21, and are at the Brick Community Stadium on March 20.
Fresh away days
There are seven fresh away days for Blackpool this season, with the first coming against Notts County at Meadow Lane on September 26.
Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium (October 10) follows a few weeks later, with trips to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday (October 31) and the Kassam Stadium (December 12) also coming before Christmas.
In 2027, there’s an early midweek away day against MK Dons on January 19, before a trip to Bromley on February 20 and a meeting with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on April 27.
