Four Bradford City Games That Stand Out For The Rest Of 2025-26

Bradford City have impressed so far in League One this season, but these upcoming games may prove difficult for the side.

Bradford City have been on a run of successful form so far this campaign, with the side sitting 3rd on 28 points in League One.

However, will Graham Alexander’s side keep up this strong form in the following fixtures, which could decide where the Bantams place comes at the end of the campaign?

With this in mind, let’s take an insight into four Bradford City games that stand out for the rest of the 25/26 season.

Bradford City Games To Look Out For

Cardiff City (H)

We start with City’s fourth game in January against Cardiff City. This fixture will mark the first time the Bantams have hosted the Bluebirds at home since 2004.

This fixture will also offer fans and pundits an opportunity to see a number of incomings on display and remaining improvements for both sides, with the fixture being just over halfway into January.

Huddersfield Town (A)

Bradford City haven’t played away at Huddersfield Town since the year of 2007. However, on the 24th of January at the Accu Stadium, both sides will lock horns for the second time this season.

This fixture has the potential to be a full sell-out or close to one from both Bantams and Terriers fans. As well as this, with the two sides holding a large rivalry between each other, there will be an intense and aggressive atmosphere around the ground.

The Bantams’ visit to the Accu Stadium has been moved for Sky Sports coverage and has an earlier kick off of 12:30.

Stockport County (H)

The penultimate fixture that stands out is when Bradford City host Stockport County on the 17th of February.

Also, when looking at the attendance history between these two sides, there is potential for a significantly high attendance, which will create a bouncing atmosphere.

It may also be crucial in contributing to the Bantams’ point tally, which will decide their position at the end of the season.

Furthermore, this fixture could be crucial for Stockport if they are in the promotion mix, as before the 25/26 season, the Hatters were looking to go again after losing in the playoffs within the 24/25 season.

Barnsley (A)

The final fixture we have identified is the Bantams’ second-to-last away game of the season against South Yorkshire side Barnsley.

This fixture has the potential to be vital in deciding where Bradford City finish in League One within the 25/26 campaign.

Furthermore, the tie could be potentially crucial for Barnsley if they have a late surge for promotion.

Due to this, this fixture will be interesting as it is a contributing factor as to where both sides finish on the 2nd of May.
