Derby County’s Under-21s will play continue to play the vast majority of their home fixtures in Premier League 2 at Matlock Town during the 2025/26 season.


The club and Matlock penned a three-year agreement in 2024, until the end of the 2026/27 season, which will see the Rams’ Under-21s stage most of their home games at the Proctor Cars Stadium.

The Under-21s will once again compete in Premier League 2 next year, as a result of the club holding Category One Academy status.

They have also competed in the Central League to vary and extend their games programme in recent years and these fixtures have been played at Moor Farm Training Ground.

There is already a close working relationship between the Rams and the Gladiators, who have hosted a pre-season friendly against Derby’s first team ahead of the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons and will do so again ahead of the upcoming 2025/26 campaign.

A Derby County Under-21s Season Ticket is available via Matlock Town, with prices set at £20 for Adults, £10 for Concessions (Over 65s and Students) and FREE for Under-18s.

Full information on the number of matches to be played at the Proctor Cars Stadium and more details will be announced later in the summer.

Match-by-match ticketing arrangements for those supporters wishing to attend Under-21s matches at Matlock Town will be confirmed ahead of their 2025/26 campaign getting under way.
