Staggered across the whole summer
The 2026 start dates are published division by division: 18+ and 25+ on April 12, 45+ on June 1, 35+ on June 3, HTA on July 12 and 55+ on August 6. The seasons run to matching lengths — sixteen games for the youngest two, fourteen for the 35+ and 45+, ten for HTA and the 55+ — and the last of them finishes in October.
Staggering six divisions across the calendar is how a league keeps fifty clubs on a finite number of fields, and it means the season is running somewhere from April to October. A High Cheese calendar carries all six on one subscription, so a man playing 25+ on Sundays and 45+ on Mondays sees both.
