Eastleigh Football Club are delighted to announce that we will be hosting Southampton FC for a pre-season fixture!

The Saints will prepare for a season in the Premier League following promotion via the play-off finals in May with a pre-season visit to the Silverlake Stadium on Friday 19th July, 7pm KO.

Russell Martin will be bringing a first-team strength squad to SO50 in what will be the Spitfires’ second friendly as the boys in blue prepare for the 2024/25 National League campaign.

We would like to wholeheartedly thank Southampton FC and Russell Martin for giving us this opportunity.

We believe that this fixture represents the strong partnership that both teams are continuing to build off the pitch and we are delighted that we will be able to see this partnership take form on the pitch.

Ticketing and hospitality details for this fixture will be announced in due course.

Due to the Southampton pre-season fixture now taking place at the Silverlake Stadium on Friday 19th July, the Eastleigh Beer & Cider Festival will now take place on Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd of August.
