Scunthorpe United can confirm that they will be taking former manager Jimmy Dean’s Spalding United side in a pre-season friendly on Saturday, July 18th 2026 (kick-off at 3PM)

With Spalding coming off the back of a promotion-winning play-off campaign under Dean, the encounter will mark the fifth time that the Lincolnshire-based clubs have faced one another, with the previous encounters coming in the Lincolnshire Cup.

The previous meeting between the clubs was set to take place at Sir Halley Stewart Field, on the 4^th of February 2025. However, the Tulips were unable to field a side for the senior cup semi-final, forcing them to withdraw from the competition and, in the process, granting the Iron a bye to the final at Lincoln City's LNER Stadium.

Tickets can be purchased in advance by clicking here.

PRE-SEASON FIXTURES CONFIRMED...

Tue, July 7th – Brigg Town (A) - 7pm
Sat, July 11th – App Frod (A) - 3pm
Sat, July 18th – Spalding United (A) - 3pm
Tue, July 28th – North Ferriby (A) - 7pm

Scunthorpe United can confirm that they will be taking on local neighbours App Frod in a pre-season friendly on Saturday, July 11th, 2026 (kick-off at 3PM).

Appleby Frodingham are preparing for their third consecutive campaign back in NCEL Division One following their promotion from the Lincolnshire League, and will be looking to build on a promising 2025-26 season.

The two sides met in a pre-season friendly back in 2023, although the Iron sent their academy side for the encounter at Brumby Hall. In what was a fairly even battle, it was the hosts who came out on top with a slender 1-0 win.

In what had previously been a fixture for which the Iron's former youth teams had played a part in, United's first team did travel to Brumby Hall last pre-season, falling to a 3-2 defeat after two second half goals from the hosts, despite the fact Scunthorpe had been leading prior to wholesale changes at the half-time break.

Ticket prices will be confirmed by our host club in due course.

PRE-SEASON FIXTURES CONFIRMED...

Tue, July 7th – Brigg Town (A) - 7pm
Sat, July 11th – App Frod (A) - 3pm
Tue, July 28th – North Ferriby (A) - 7pm

Scunthorpe United can confirm that they will face North Ferriby FC in a pre-season encounter on Tuesday, July 28th, 2026 (kick-off 7pm).

This fixture at the Versa Sportswear Stadium comes just over a week prior to the start of the 2026-27 Enterprise National League season, and it will be the first meeting between the sides' first teams since the Villagers were forced to reform in 2019 following the winding up of North Ferriby United the previous season.

United's U23's would meet North Ferriby that same year and would fall to a narrow 2-1 defeat. However, the last time that the sides met in first-team form would come back in the pre-season of 2017, when United came out 6-0 victors thanks to first-half goals from Connor Townsend and Jonny Margetts, before a different second-half XI added four further strikes through a brace from Kyle Wooton, which was followed by netted efforts from Noel Burdett and Cameron Burgess.

Ticket prices will be confirmed by our hosts in due course...
