Cobblers confirm pre-season friendly against Premier League club
Cobblers have confirmed both the date and the opponents for their first pre-season friendly.
Town will host Premier League new boys Coventry City at Sixfields in July ahead of the start of their 2026/26 League Two campaign, which will begin the following month. Frank Lampard’s Sky Blues, who stormed to the Championship title with 95 points, will return to the top flight next season after a 25-year absence.
The game will be played on Saturday, July 18th, at 2pm, and ticket details will be confirmed in due course. Coventry are no strangers to Sixfields having played their home games at the stadium between July 2013 and August 2014 in a groundhsare with Northampton due to a dispute with the then-owners of the Ricoh Arena.
