Cobblers now have added a fourth game to their pre-season schedule ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

Following confirmation of friendlies at Cambridge and Solihull Moors, in addition to a home match against Premier League-bound Coventry City, a third away trip between those matches has now been announced.

Cobblers will head to Roots Hall in Essex to face National League side Southend United on Wednesday, July 22nd, for a 7.30pm kick-off. Southend lost in the play-offs at the end of the 2025/26 season, but they did triumph in the FA Trophy final at Wembley last month, surprisingly sacking their manager a few days later. Ticket details for the game will be confirmed in due course.

July 18th – Coventry City home (2pm)

July 22nd – Southend United away (7.30pm)

July 28th – Cambridge United away (7.30pm)

August 1st – Solihull Moors away (1pm)
