Fixtures
Below are fixtures in the region for the next month. The list shows fixtures where appointments have been made and confirmed by the official and those games that are currently not appointed. For Clubs, there are a number of reasons why your fixture is not shown here:
Fixture is not on WhosTheRef
Fixture is not in the next month
An appointment has been made, but the referee has not yet confirmed acceptance
The fixture is being appointed to by another region - e.g. SE Group (for Level 5), Development (for Level 6), Midweek (for games on Monday to Friday)
Please refer to the Referee Notification email for contact details for the referee. For further details, see the Fixtures & Appointments and WhosTheRef pages.
