This will be the first of three PO Postcode derby fixtures the Royals will face in the opening weeks of the season – with the visit of Fareham Town currently scheduled for Tuesday, August 6, and a trip to Baffins Milton Rovers coming after that on Tuesday, August 20.

Two Saturday away days in August are likely to be popular with the travelling support as they feature trips to two Dorset seaside towns during the summer holiday season – Portchester will be at Bournemouth on Saturday, August 10, and at Portland United on Saturday, August 31.

The Christmas period brings two more PO Postcode derby encounters – at home to Baffins Milton Rovers on Saturday, December 21, and a trip to US Portsmouth on Saturday, December 28.

The first league game of 2025 will be a trip to Hamble Club on Saturday, January 4, and the league season finale falls on the Easter weekend with an eggs-cellent looking fixture to finish the campaign off with. The Royals will be travelling to Fareham Town on Easter Saturday, April 19.
