Under-21s' Premier League 2 fixtures confirmed for 2025/26 season

The young Magpies host their Saints counterparts at Whitley Park on Sunday, 17th August (kick-off 3pm BST), with United's second-string set to play 20 regular-season matches throughout the 2025/26 campaign.

After the regular season of 20 Matchweeks have been completed, the top 16 teams will qualify for the elimination play-offs, with teams drawn against each other based on their league positions, for example with the team finishing first facing the team that claimed 16th place.

In a change for 2025/26, the eight Premier League 2 teams finishing in positions from 17th to 24th will go into a new, cross-category play-off competition with the top eight teams from the Professional Development League (Category 2). This will also consist of a round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.
