Aldershot Town will open their 2026-27 National League season with an away trip to Boston United. The Shots, who finished 20th last season with 46 points from 13 wins, 7 draws and 26 losses, will look to bounce back after a poor end to the previous campaign.

What happened last season?

Aldershot Town struggled in the 2025-26 season, finishing 20th in the National League with 46 points. Their recent form was particularly poor, losing their last five matches, including a 2-0 defeat to Truro City on April 25, 2026. The team scored 69 goals but conceded 87, leaving them with a -18 goal difference.

Why it matters for Aldershot Town

Starting the new season away at Boston United presents an immediate challenge for Aldershot Town. After finishing 62 points behind league leaders York, the Shots will be eager to improve their position in the table. A strong start could set the tone for the rest of the season.

What comes next?

Aldershot Town will need to address their defensive issues if they are to climb the table. With a goal difference of -18 last season, tightening up at the back will be a priority. Fans will be hoping for a more positive campaign after a difficult 2025-26 season.
