Matchday Information: Darlington (h)

    Our final home match of the season takes place this weekend – and here’s all the information ahead of the game…

    Kick off at the Leap76 Stadium (CH1 4LT) this Saturday is 3pm against Darlington.

    Do I need a ticket to attend the match?

    The quickest and easiest way to buy match tickets is via our online ticketing platform at chesterfc.ktckts.com. Online sales will now be available until kick off and you simply need to present your printed ticket or mobile phone to be scanned at the turnstile.

    We still strongly encourage supporters to purchase tickets in advance via the below link, as purchasing in advance prior to matchday also provides a saving on the price.
