Mansfield Town’s League One clash with Oxford United has been rescheduled.

Stags were due to face the relegated Oxfordshire side on Saturday, October 17 but the date has now been tweaked to accommodate live TV coverage.

The clash against the U’s at the One Call Stadium has been selected to be shown live on Sky Sports Football and as a result, has been moved to an earlier date of Thursday, October 15 with kick-off at 8pm.

Stags already have two other 2026/27 games selected for live TV broadcast. Their upcoming Carabao Cup match against Sheffield United will also be shown on Sky Sports Football, and their League One away day to Burton Albion will be available to view on Sky Sports+.

Mansfield Town will be looking to build on their impressive end to last season, which saw them secure their best league finish in almost 40 years. Stags came tenth in League One, despite worrying about a potential relegation scrap earlier in the season.

They lost just once in their last 15 league games and have worked on strengthening their attack over the summer to continue to push on when this campaign gets underway. Stags will start their season against Doncaster Rovers on August 15. They have also had their dates and kick-off times confirmed for the upcoming EFL Trophy group run.

Mansfield will face Manchester City U21s, Port Vale and bitter rivals Chesterfield in Group D of the Northern Section. You can find out more here.
