The LOTTO Northern Region Football League 2025 fixtures have been released today.

The pinnacle competitions for Northern Region Football and Waikato Bay of Plenty clubs kick off on the weekend of March 22.

Promoted FC Tauranga Moana will look to establish themselves at this level, while stopping Auckland United is the big challenge for LOTTO NRFL Women’s Premiership teams. Unbeaten for over 500 days and 49 matches, the champions have retained the bulk of their squad and will tough to beat, while managing a trip to the OFC Women’s Champions League. West Coast Rangers, Western Springs and Eastern Suburbs all look likely challengers.

The LOTTO NRFL Men’s Championship features four WaiBOP clubs, with newly promoted Cambridge joining Melville United, Hamilton Wanderers and Ngaruawahia United. They’ll be pushed hard by Manukau United, who almost went the distance in 2024, alongside a number of traditionally strong Auckland clubs vying for the title and promotion to the Northern League.

The LOTTO NRFL Southern Conference involves eight clubs from across the WaiBOP region, while the LOTTO NRFL Women's Championship includes Melville United, Hamilton Wanderers and Cambridge. 

“It’s tremendous to see clubs choosing a variety of kick off times, including some mid week fixtures, the successful Friday night matches and men’s and women’s double headers – they’re a great way to engage club members and attract communities to matches and clubrooms. With plenty of player and coach movements over the summer, the competition for titles will be higher than ever,” said LOTTO NRFL competitions manager Mike Corbett.

The Men's Dettol Northern League draws, which have already been released, are also available.
