New League Two season kicks off with Cheltenham vs Rotherham
The new League Two season begins with Cheltenham Town hosting Rotherham United at The Completely-Suzuki Stadium on Saturday, 15 August 2026. This opening day fixture marks the start of the campaign for both sides as they look to establish early momentum.
Cheltenham Town ended their previous League Two season with a heavy 1-4 defeat at home to Colchester United, followed by another loss away at Bristol Rovers. Their final home game saw them beaten 1-3 by Tranmere Rovers, before securing a 1-0 victory against Newport County. However, the end of the season was marred by a significant 5-2 loss to Notts County in late March. Their recent EFL Cup exit, a 1-3 home defeat to Charlton Athletic, suggests a difficult start to the new campaign.
Rotherham United endured a tough end to their League One campaign, with a 3-2 loss at Wycombe Wanderers and a 1-1 draw at home to Reading. They struggled for goals, suffering 0-2 defeats against Luton Town and Leyton Orient, and a 3-0 loss to Wigan Athletic. Their recent form shows a pattern of conceding goals, including a 1-3 home defeat to Barnsley and a 1-0 loss to Port Vale. Their EFL Cup journey also concluded with a significant 1-4 defeat to West Bromwich Albion.
The head-to-head record between these two clubs shows a varied history. Most recently, Cheltenham Town secured a 1-3 victory over Rotherham United in the FA Cup in November 2024. Prior to that, in the 2021-22 League One season, Rotherham won one and drew one against Cheltenham. Their League Two encounters in the 2012-13 season saw Rotherham win one 4-2, and Cheltenham take the other fixture 3-0.
With both sides having experienced difficult periods in their recent league campaigns, the opening day presents an opportunity for a fresh start. Cheltenham's recent form suggests defensive frailties, while Rotherham have also struggled to consistently find wins and have conceded a notable number of goals. The expected lineups will be key to understanding how each team intends to approach this first match of the season, with both managers likely looking to shore up their defences and find attacking rhythm.
