Oxford United and MK Dons set for League One opener
The new League One season kicks off with a local derby as Oxford United host Milton Keynes Dons at Kassam Stadium. Both sides are looking to start their campaign positively after mixed fortunes in their final pre-season fixtures and cup ties.
Oxford United's recent form shows a mixed picture as they prepare for the league opener. Their last competitive outing was a 2-0 defeat to Leyton Orient in the EFL Cup on 8 August. Prior to that, they secured a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town in a friendly on 1 August. The end of their last Championship campaign saw a 2-0 loss to Millwall on 2 May, but this was preceded by a strong 4-1 home win against Sheffield Wednesday on 25 April. They also suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Wrexham on 21 April.
Milton Keynes Dons also come into the new season having experienced a mixed bag of results. Their most recent match was a 4-1 loss to Norwich City in the EFL Cup on 8 August. Before that, they faced Tottenham Hotspur in a friendly on 22 July, where they were defeated 1-0. The close of their League Two season saw them draw 1-1 with Fleetwood Town on 2 May, following a convincing 3-0 home win against Tranmere Rovers on 25 April. They also recorded a 3-1 away victory over Crewe Alexandra on 18 April.
With no key absences reported for either side, both Oxford United and Milton Keynes Dons are expected to have their full squads available. As the lineups are currently unconfirmed, the starting elevens are anticipated. Both teams will be looking to field their strongest possible sides to secure a positive start to the League One season.
The head-to-head record between Oxford United and Milton Keynes Dons suggests a closely contested fixture. In their most recent meeting on 9 January 2026, the two sides drew 1-1 in an FA Cup tie. Their previous encounter in the EFL Trophy on 19 September 2023 saw Milton Keynes Dons secure a 1-0 victory. Their League One clashes in the 2022-23 season were also tight, with a 1-1 draw at Kassam Stadium and a 2-1 win for Milton Keynes Dons at home. Oxford United did manage a 1-0 home win against them in April 2022.
As the League One season commences, this fixture presents an immediate test for both Oxford United and Milton Keynes Dons. The home advantage at Kassam Stadium could be a factor for Oxford, while Milton Keynes Dons will be keen to make their mark on the road. The history between these two clubs indicates that supporters can expect a competitive encounter as both teams aim to lay down an early marker in the division.
