Torquay United's Roadmap for the 2025/26 Season Revealed
Fans have been impatiently waiting, and now it’s official: Torquay United’s 2025/26 National League South fixture list is out in the open. The full schedule shows a buzzing start, some exciting derbies, and new sponsorship on board. If you’re following Torquay’s comeback plans, buckle up—the early season is going to be intense.
The season gets underway on 12 July 2025 as the Gulls host Buckland Athletic. For the club’s supporters, this opener isn’t just another match; it’s a chance to set the tone for a year where every point will matter. Next, Torquay welcomes Newport County on 19 July, a team that always brings a strong traveling crowd and competition. The action doesn’t stop as Plymouth Argyle arrives at Plainmoor on 23 July, followed closely by a showdown against Exeter City on 25 July. You’d be hard-pressed to ask for a more high-stakes start—local pride and old rivalries will be on full display within the first two weeks.
Festive Fixtures and Fresh Sponsorship
Beyond the summer frenzy, the calendar is peppered with games fans already have circled. One of the season's highlights lands on Boxing Day, 26 December 2025, when Torquay is set to face Bath City—a fixture that’s known for passionate support and a bit of festive tension. The return clash isn’t far behind, scheduled for 3 April 2026, making this rivalry a two-part saga stretching just over three months.
There’s also a pre-season treat: a headline friendly with Weymouth on 2 August 2025. These warm-up matches often set expectations, and with Weymouth typically fielding a competitive squad, it’s a proper test before league business gets serious.
This season, the National League welcomes Enterprise Rent-A-Car as its main sponsor, replacing the long-standing partnership with Vanarama. Enterprise’s arrival marks a shift not just in branding, but also in funding and promotion across the league’s divisions. Administrators hope this change will keep clubs, including Torquay, on firmer financial footing.
Of course, as with every schedule, all fixture dates and times remain subject to adjustment. TV scheduling, cup competitions, and unpredictable British weather can force last-minute changes, so supporters will want to keep an eye on official channels for updates across the campaign.
For Torquay United, it’s not just another season—it’s a statement year, packed with derbies, fresh sponsorship, and a chance to climb the National League South ladder. For local fans, there’s a lot to look forward to, and the countdown is very much on.
