Plans for Dial’s 2026/27 pre-season schedule is all but finalised, with eight friendlies confirmed.

Following the club's allocation to the Southern Combination Football League Division One - step 6 of the National League System - in May 2026, Dial boss Steve Brown has intensified the pre-season workout ahead of the new 2026/27 campaign. It includes four friendlies against higher placed clubs in the football pyramid, two of which ply their trade in the Isthmian Football League.

Dial's first port of call will be a training match (including triallists) away to Isthmian Football League South Central (step 4) side Bedfont Sports (@ Bedfont Sports Recreation Ground) on 27 June.

The squad will then travel to Wessex Football League Division One (step 6) side Frimley Green on 4 July (@ neutral venue), before the Dial shifts to newly promoted Isthmian Football League South Central side Windsor & Eton on 7 July (@ neutral venue).

Brown will select a squad to play Combined Counties Football League Division One (step 6) side Molesey on 11 July (@ neutral venue), before Dial travel to Combined Counties Football League Premier Division North (step 5) outfit Sheerwater (@ Eastwood Leisure Centre) on 18 July.

We then return to action against our new landlord Knaphill, who ply their trade in the Combined Counties Football League Premier Division South, on 21 July (Home), prior to taking on Wessex Football League Division One side Cove on 25 July (@ neutral venue). The final pre-season friendly is away to Surrey Premier County Football League (step 7) side Addlestone (@ neutral venue) on 1 August.

The pre-season schedule may be subject to change. Kick-off times and match venues will be confirmed on the Dial Square website and social channels nearer to the time. Fixtures showing an A and/or N will be played at the opposition's ground or a neutral (e.g., 3G) venue.
