21 JULY – REVISED Fixtures Grid for the 2025-26 Season - The Fixtures Grid for the new season, 2025-26, is shown left. It has had a slight change in that AFC Centre Spot has moved from number 12 to number 13, with Thorncliffe Villa moving to number 12. It shows which teams have home games each Sunday. It does not show which team is the away team as this will be worked out by the League and can vary because of Cup games. From the grid each club should be able to tell their pitch provider which weeks they are due to be at home right throughout the season, although this could change due to County FA Cup or Trophy ties. You will be able to confirm the exact details when the fixtures are first published on the League website. Initially, we will focus on 7 Sept and try to let you know which ghames you have on that date and we will also try to give as many teams as possible games on 31 August, but that will depend on which teams have their home pitch available. We won't be able to do fixtures for both the 14 & 21 September until the County FA has done the draws for both the Sunday Senior Cup and Sunday Trophy. All teams should expect to have a game EVERY WEEK unless notified by the League. Should any team not wish to have a game on a particular date they MUST request this at least 5 weeks before the date, but no teasm will be allowed to request more than 2 dates and that includes any dates of the Sheffield derbies.

County FA Sunday Senior Cup and Sunday Trophy competitions - please note that if you have entered either of these County FA competitions you will not be allowed to delay any of these ties. If you have a tie in those competitions on those dates they MUST BE PLAYED ON THE DATES SHOWN. If you have entered either of these competitions and now know that you will not be able to play on any of the dates listed for them, we suggest you contact the County FA now and withdraw from the competition before the draw is made. If you withdraw after the draw has been made you are likely to be fined by the County FA.

NEW FA RULES All clubs should have been notified by The FA of the new rules, or changes to rules. The main one to be aware of this season is the 8 second rule for goalkeepers and the action taken by referees if the goalkeeper doesn't release the ball in time.

LEAGUE RULES The League Rules etc page has been updated, including The FA Standard Code of Rules - you can find them and all the League Rules etc using the Management link shown on this page. All clubs should be aware of all the rules.

CLUBS WITH PLAYERS UNDER 18 if you have any players under the age of 18 anyone involved in the management, or coaching, of the team on matchdays, or training MUST start the process of getting a football DBS check. Any team not doing will be suspended by the County FA.
