The wait is nearly over. On Friday 10 July, the 2026/27 Enterprise National League fixtures land, and the moment they do, millions of fans across 72 clubs will be hunting for the same things: the opening day, the local derby, and who they’ve got on the final afternoon.
Sitting right below the EFL, the Enterprise National League is the top of the non-league game and the fifth tier of English football. The league has teamed up with ECAL so those fixtures can drop straight onto your phone the second they’re announced.

One sync, all 72 clubs
When the fixtures land, ECAL brings every club on board at the same time, all 72 of them, across the league’s three competitions:
- The National League (Premier Division): The top tier of non-league football, with 24 fully professional clubs going head-to-head for a place in the EFL.
- National League North: A fiercely competitive regional division of 24 clubs battling to climb the pyramid.
- National League South: The southern regional division, with 24 ambitious clubs chasing promotion to the top flight.
Football’s toughest promotion race
Once the schedules are live, the gruelling road ahead becomes clear. Reaching EFL League Two leaves absolutely no room for error:
The Promotion Stakes: Only the league champions earn automatic promotion. Teams finishing second through seventh must survive a brutal, high-stakes playoff gauntlet for the single remaining promotion spot.
The bottom of the table is just as unforgiving, with the last four clubs dropping straight down to the regional North and South divisions. With margins that razor-thin deciding a club’s entire season, having every date and kick-off time locked into your pocket from day one ensures you won’t miss a single crucial moment.
New Teams and Historic Giants for 2026/27
The impending fixture release will set the opening-day match-ups for a fascinating mix of former league heavyweights and incredible promotion stories:
- Down from the EFL: Barrow and Harrogate Town return to the National League after relegation from League Two, both desperate for an immediate bounce-back.
- Up from Step 2: AFC Fylde and Worthing arrive in the top flight after securing automatic promotion, joined by playoff final winners Kidderminster Harriers and Hornchurch.
- The Established Giants: Historic Football League names like Southend United, Carlisle United, Hartlepool United, and Scunthorpe United continue their fight to return to the pro ranks.
