Rotherham United's full League One fixture list for 2025/26

The defender turned down a new deal with the Millers after three years in S60 and earlier this week signed for the Valiants who head to AESSEAL New York on August 2 for the big kick-off.

Rotherham have a number of derbies to look forward to next season, the first of which is a visit to newly-promoted Doncaster Rovers on August 30.

Next up for Matt Hamshaw's men in the quest for Yorkshire bragging rights are Bradford City who come calling at New York on October 4.

Millers fans will hit the road over Christmas, with away games at Bolton Wanderers on Boxing Day and Blackpool on December 29 before a home clash on New Year's Day against Peterborough United.

The fixture list has been kind in that there are no particularly long midweek trips. Matches at Plymouth Argyle, Exeter City, Cardiff City, Leyton Orient, Reading and Wycombe Wanderers all fall on Saturdays.

Other derby days at New York are December 20 (Huddersfield Town), February 21 (Doncaster), and April 11 (Barnsley) while Rotherham are at Barnsley on October 25, Bradford on January 10 and Huddersfield on March 7.

The campaign concludes on May 2 with a long-distance journey to Wycombe.

The Millers, who returned for pre-season training this morning, will learn of their first-round opponents in the Carabao Cup later today.

Their group in the EFL Trophy – which already includes Bolton and Oldham Athletic – will also be finalised, when a Premier League under-21 side is added to the mix.
