The Iron to face off against Buxton FC in a pre-season encounter

Scunthorpe United can confirm that they will be taking on Enterprise National League North side Buxton FC in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday, July 21st, 2026 (7.45pm kick-off).

This fixture will take place at the Tarmac Silverlands Stadium, where the Iron will be welcomed by the Bucks for the first time since the 2024-25 season, having played their last encounter at this particular venue against Farlsey Celtic when they were forced to play their home fixtures there.

A fixture familiar to Scunthorpe from their previous spell in the National League North. The last time the Iron met the Bucks was just two weeks prior to our last visit to the stadium, when Andy Butlers’ Scunthorpe side managed to rescue a point in the final minutes of the game. After a first-half strike from Buxton defender Ethan Mann, the Iron would be forced to wait until the games latter stages to tie up the scoreline when Carlton Ubaezuonu smashed the ball home from a matter of yards.

The pre-season friendly will see new signing Luke Brennan immediately come up against his former club, while United will encounter Kian Scales on the opposing side having signed for the Bucks earlier this week.

Ticket news will be confirmed in due course.
