The league will feature a total of 14 teams, including the newly promoted champions from National 2.
North: Rotherham Titans
East: Esher
West: Dings Crusaders

Our Nat 1 campaign kicks off with Richmond travelling to South-East London facing old friends Blackheath at The Utilita, which will be an exciting start to the season. The following week, on September 14th, we make the short journey to local rivals Rosslyn Park in what should be a thrilling encounter after Henry Cheeseman’s last-minute winning try back in December 2023 when we last met! Our first game back at The RAG is the week after as we host Darlington Mowden Park on 21st September.

Some key fixtures to keep in mind, over the Christmas period, we host Rosslyn Park at The RAG which should be a "cracker" on 21st December and over the St Patrick’s Day weekend celebrations we welcome Plymouth Albion on 15th March.

In the first nine rounds the furthest we have to travel is to Dings Crusaders!

Please keep in mind that these dates are not yet finalised and are subject to change. “As National League Rugby have only four leagues to organise fixtures, they can be completed earlier than the other divisions (Regional 1 and below). The plan is to release fixtures for these leagues by the 14th June. This will include those for any other sides which you have playing in RFU Leagues. All will be viewable on the Fixtures and Results section of the RFU website”.
