The fixtures for the upcoming 2026/27 FA WNL Division One North season have been announced, with Leeds United Women facing newly promoted Thornaby Women at the Bannister Prentice Stadium for the opening match of the new campaign.

Simon Wood’s side will then head to Moor Park to face Chester-le-Street Town Ladies, before the introduction into the FA WNL Cup group stage with a midweek trip to Halifax Women.

The Whites will round off their league home campaign as they welcome Bradford City Women to Garforth, before a final day clash away at Norton and Stockton Ancients.

Unlike last year, where teams that finished second in their respective league would battle it out in a one-off playoff for promotion to the tier above, only the league champion shall see themselves reach the Northern Premier Division this campaign.
