The wait is over — the Hereford Stampede 2026 BAFA fixtures have officially been released, and our season in Southern Football Conference Division 1 West is starting to take shape.

Following last year’s Division Two South West title and promotion playoff victory, the Stampede now step up into Division One football, and the 2026 schedule promises an exciting mix of familiar rivals and new challenges.

2026 Regular Season Fixtures

The Stampede open their Division One campaign on the road before returning home for back-to-back early-season fixtures:

Sunday 3rd May – South Wales Warriors (Away)
Sunday 10th May – South Wales Warriors (Home)
Sunday 24th May – Bournemouth Bobcats (Home)
Sunday 31st May – Bristol Apache (Away)

June sees a balanced run of home and away matchups as the season gathers momentum:

Sunday 7th June – Solent Thrashers (Home)
Saturday 20th June – Bournemouth Bobcats (Away)
Sunday 28th June – Solent Thrashers (Away)
Sunday 5th July – Bristol Apache (Home)

The league calendar concludes with Rain Week on Sunday 26th July, allowing flexibility should fixtures need to be replayed.

A New Challenge Awaits

Division One football brings a step up in intensity, depth, and competition — and the Stampede couldn’t be more excited. With four home games lined up, fans can expect plenty of action at the Stampede’s home field, while our away trips will test the squad against some of the strongest programmes in the conference.

As preparations continue through pre-season, players, coaches, volunteers, and supporters are all focused on making 2026 a season to remember.

Full fixture details will be available across our social channels, with kickoff times, venues, and gameday info announced closer to each matchup.

Division One. 2026. Let’s ride.
