2025 Betfred League 1 fixtures revealed
Fixtures for the 2025 Betfred League 1 season have been revealed.
As revealed earlier today, Rochdale Hornets' opening game of the season will come at home to another of last season’s play-off contenders, Keighley Cougars.
The Cougars will visit the Crown Oil Arena on Sunday 23 February (3pm kick-off).
Seven of the Hornets’ opening nine fixtures will come on home soil - the two exceptions being a trip to Whitehaven in Round 3 (Sunday 23 March) and Dewsbury Rams (Sunday 27 April) in Round 7.
The Hornets will face the division’s newest team, Goole Vikings, over the May Bank Holiday. The Round 8 clash will take place on Saturday 3 May, having been brought forward 24 hours from its initial slot to enable local supporters of both clubs to attend the 2025 Magic Weekend at St James’ Park, should they wish.
Both fixtures against Cornwall will have an earlier kick-off time of 1pm.
Gary Thornton's side will enter the Betfred Challenge Cup at the second round stage, on the weekend of January 25-26.
Details of the format for this season's 1895 Cup are still to be finalised and will be shared in due course.
