AFC Fylde will play host to newly-relegated Carlisle United at Mill Farm as part of our preparations for the 2025/26 season.

The Coasters will face Carlisle on Saturday 19^th July, 3pm Kick Off, before facing fellow relegated side Morecambe a week later.

Both sides will be preparing for life in the National League in the weeks to come.

Carlisle, managed by ex-Manchester United and Wales attacker Mark Hughes, will be facing a season at step one for the first time since 2005.

Last time the Cumbrians dropped into this level, they were able to bounce straight back into the football league after earning promotion at the first attempt.

But with both Carlisle and Morecambe now readying themselves for a tough division, both sides will provide strong tests for the Coasters who look to have a positive year in the National League North.

Tickets details for the clash at Mill Farm will be confirmed in due course along with a number of other fixture announcements involved in our 2025/26 preparations.
