Hartpury FC's 2026/27 Southern League Div One South opponents are locked in, following the FA's National League structure announcement on Thursday.
The Acorns will play out their second season at Step Four following a proud seventh placed finish debut campaign.
Frome Town and Malvern Town both earned passage to Step Three whilst Tavistock AFC, Brixham AFC, Portishead Town and Bashley suffered relegation to Step Five.
Two additional teams from the 2025/26 campaign have departed the league, with Mousehole AFC undertaking voluntary relegation whilst Didcot Town have completed lateral movement across to the Southern League Div One Central.
As a result of Mousehole's departure, Willand Rovers have been granted a reprieve back into the league after being the highest finishing team in the bottom four last season.
Nine new teams will enter the Southern League Div One South next campaign, for the Acorns to test themselves against.
Weymouth, Dorchester Town, Hungerford Town and Tiverton Town have dropped down from Step Three, whilst Paulton Rovers, Portland United, Slimbridge AFC, Barnstaple Town and Worcester Raiders all achieved promotion from Step Five.
We welcome all new teams and can't wait to face off, in what promises to be an entertaining season.
