Crawley Town fixtures 2025/26 in full: Tough away opener for Reds but Christmas schedule friendlier than last season
Crawley Town have found out their fixtures for the 2025/26 season – and they have been given a tough away game for their opener.
Reds face a trip to Grimsby Town on Saturday, August 2. Their first home game is on Saturday, August 9, when they host Newport County at the Broadfield Stadium.


Last season Reds had a horrible Christmas period in terms of travel but this season looks a bit friendlier with a trip to Swindon on Saturday, December 20, Colchester United at home on Boxing Day, Bromley at the Broadfield Stadium on Monday, December 29 and a trip to Barnet on New Year’s Day.
Good Friday (April 3) sees Scott Lindsey’s men travel to Newport County with Grimsby Town’s return fixture on Easter Monday (April 6).
Lindsey faces his former club MK Dons on Tuesday August 19 at the Broadfield Stadium and at Stadium MK on Tuesday, February 17.
