Preston fixtures 2025-26: Full list of away games and guides

Preston fixtures 2025-26: Full list of away games and guides

The 2024-25 Championship campaign will not be looked back on in years to come with great affection by Preston North End supporters.

After Ryan Lowe departed following the opening game of the season, Paul Heckingbottom was brought in. The former Sheffield United manager was working in difficult circumstances but his side only managed to accumulate 50 points, drawing a league-high 20 games .

The Lilywhites came dangerously close to relegation, with a 2-2 draw at Bristol City on the final day of the season enough to finish 20th in the table and just one point above the bottom three.

It's set to be a summer of upheaval at the club, too, which usually goes one of two ways. Ten players have left already and the club's chairman has gone on record to say that the club is need of ‘revolution' this summer.

Heckingbottom will be given the chance to lead this revolution, but he will need help from the club's supporters, particularly on the road. With the fixtures now out, here is a guide to all 23 of Preston's away fixtures this upcoming season.
