The 2026-27 Subway Players Cup League Phase fixtures have now been confirmed after the format change.
The first stage of the competition will see a Swiss-style league format implemented with fixtures drawn by region, guaranteeing a minimum of six matches per club.
Teams were divided geographically into Northern (11 clubs) and Southern (12 clubs) sections and were assigned a numerical ball number for their regionalised segment of the draw.
As the balls were drawn, each team was allocated to a code which determined their fixtures, providing three home and three away fixtures per club in their respective regionalised sections.
These will be played across ten different fixture windows between mid-September and mid-December.
