The FA have confirmed the club allocations within the National League System for 2026-27.

We have been placed back into the Isthmian League Premier Division, rejoining a host of familiar faces as well as some new clubs.

Next season will see us reacquaint ourselves with the likes of Dartford, who Town last faced in league action back in 2008, during our days in the Isthmian North together; Brentwood, who were also regular Isthmian North opponents for the Towners; Burgess Hill Town; and Leatherhead, who return to the Isthmian Premier after four years away.

We will again cross paths with St Albans City, Aveley, Welling United, and Eastbourne Borough, who joined us in the National League South over the last two seasons. The ‘A10 Clasico’ also returns, with neighbours Cheshunt among next season’s fixture list.

While we have encountered some sides such as Maldon & Tiptree and Ramsgate on previous FA Trophy runs, this will be our first season as league opponents. They join Stanway Rovers, Three Bridges, and phoenix club AFC Whyteleafe who we will meet this season for the very first time.
