Phase One fixtures for the 2025/26 Genero Adran Premier season see The New Saints host Cardiff City Women for the first televised game of the campaign.

Elsewhere on the opening day, newly-promoted Pontypridd United will welcome Aberystwyth Town to USW Sport Park. New Dragons boss Drew Lewis will aim to keep the Genero Adran South champions up, while the Seasiders are currently managerless after Chris Church’s departure last week.

Two new coaches will go head-to-head at Old Road on the opening day. Rhys Thomas’ Briton Ferry and Jenny Sugarman’s Wrexham will write a new chapter in their growing rivalry, with both sides aiming to finish in the top four once again.

After finishing in the bottom half for the first time in their history last season, Swansea City will hope for a much better campaign under new head coach Yzzy Taylor and they begin away at Barry Town United.   

There are also plenty of derby days to make a note of. Most notably, the South Wales derby between Cardiff City and Swansea City will take place on September 28 and November 16, while TNS and Wrexham will clash on September 21 and November 2.
