Players, managers, officials, volunteers and supporters,

At last night’s Hellenic League Management Committee Meeting, we agreed it was time to freshen up how the Hellenic League brings the season to a close. Not change for the sake of it — but a rethink designed to give the biggest matches the space, focus and build-up they deserve.

👉 The way we finish the season is changing.

This new structure allows the league run-in to breathe, gives cup finals the spotlight they merit, and builds a proper sense of occasion right through to the final kick of the campaign.

Because let’s be honest — there is nothing quite like the magic of the cup.

One game. One chance. Form out the window. Heroes where you least expect them. And a story that will be told in the clubhouse for years, usually starting with: “No one gave us a chance…”

Here’s how the 2025/26 Hellenic League Season Finale will unfold:

🏆 THE RUN-IN: DATES & DRAMA

⚡ Floodlit Cup Final

📅 Tuesday 17th March 2026

Football under the lights, where moments feel bigger and memories last longer.

🔥 Challenge / Supplementary Cup Finals

📅 Saturday 28th March 2026

Two finals, two trophies, and ninety minutes where anything can happen.

📊 Final League Games – Premier Division & Division One

📅 Saturday 18th April 2026

The day every point matters, every goal counts, and the table tells its final story.

🚀 Play-Off Semi-Finals – Premier Division & Division One

📅 Week Commencing 20th April 2026 (Tuesday / Wednesday)

High stakes, fine margins, and a place in the final on the line.

👑 Chairman’s / President’s Cup Finals

📅 Saturday 25th April 2026

A celebration of competition, tradition and silverware earned the hard way.

🧓 Veterans Cup Final

📅 Wednesday 29th April 2026

Experience, composure and the kind of football intelligence you can’t coach.

🏁 Division One Play-Off Final

📅 Friday 1st May 2026

A season distilled into one defining night.

🏆 Premier Division Play-Off Final

📅 Monday 4th May 2026

The ultimate finale — promotion, pride and history all on the line.

🤔 WHY THE CHANGE?

Because the season deserves a proper crescendo.

Because finals should feel like occasions, not footnotes.

And because the magic of the cup deserves its own moment to shine.

This refreshed format delivers:

✔️ Clearer scheduling

✔️ Standalone showcase finals

✔️ A smoother, more exciting run-in

✔️ Football that matters right to the very end

🎉 IN SUMMARY…

The Hellenic League isn’t just ending the season —

we’re letting it tell its full story.

From floodlit finals to promotion deciders, this is a run-in built on drama, opportunity and the kind of moments that make non-league football special.

Same league.

Same passion.

A new way to finish the season. ⚽✨
