🏉 2026/27 League Allocations Confirmed 🏉

Following the recent league restructure and the introduction of 2nd XV sides into the RFU league pyramid, we can now confirm the opposition for both our 1st XV and 2nd XV for the 2026/27 season.

The new campaign promises plenty of exciting local fixtures, along with the opportunity to renew rivalries and face several clubs that Darlington RFC has not met in league competition for a number of years.

We’re already looking forward to the challenges ahead and seeing how both squads develop throughout the season.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in the restructuring process, and we wish all clubs the very best for the upcoming season.

📢 We are still awaiting confirmation of the league allocation for our 3rd XV and will share details as soon as they are announced.
