Doncaster Rovers' 2025-26 fixtures in full with favourable home opener for League One return

The fixture will take place at the Eco-Power Stadium on Saturday, August 2 (3pm) in what will be the first meeting between the two sides since 2017. Grant McCann's side then make their first away trip the following weekend when they travel to Mansfield Town. Other notable dates include derby clashes within the first weeks of the season, away at Huddersfield (August 19) before back-to-back home games with Rotherham (August 30) and Bradford (September 6). They have to wait until November 8 before their first clash with rivals Barnsley; that game taking place at the Eco-Power Stadium.

Boxing Day sees Rovers travel to Blackpool before another road trip to Stockport three days later. New Year's Day sees Bolton visit DN4. Rovers conclude the season on May 2 with a trip to McCann's former employers Peterborough. Last season saw Rovers kick off the campaign with a 4-1 home win over Accrington Stanley.
