Mansfield Town will get their season underway at home to Doncaster Rovers.

Mansfield will finish the regular campaign away to Stockport on Saturday 8 May.

Stags go into the campaign looking to build on their best finish in 39 seasons last time out.

So far they have added just David McGoldrick to the squad with Nigel Clough content to go into 26/27 with the players that did him proud last season.

Mansfield, who finished last season 10th after one defeat in their last 15 games, are rated as 10/1 shots for promotion with league sponsors SkyBet.

The opening weekend in the Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two is set for 14-16 August, though the competitive season will get underway a week earlier with the first round of the Carabao Cup.

The campaign will also see Stags face Chesterfield and Port Vale in the Northern Section Group D of the 2026/27 EFL Trophy group stage.
