Weston-super-Mare 1stXV will start their 2025/26 Regional 2 Tribute Ale South West on Saturday, September 6, 2025, with a trip to mid-Devon to face Crediton before hosting newly promoted Pirates Amateurs a week later for the first-ever meeting.

It will be a return to mid-Devon on Saturday, September 20, 2025, when Cullompton will provide the opposition before facing four games the next month, starting on October 4, 2025, with another trip to Devon to take on Teignmouth.

Wadebridge Camels will visit the Recreation Ground on October 11, 2025, before Weston travels to Wellington a week later. Winscombe's visit on October 25, 2025, will be the first league encounter between the clubs, though there are less than ten miles between the two.

The Regional 2 Tribute Ale South West league programme runs through until Saturday, April 11, 2026, but the RFU have undertaken consultations with Regional 1 & 2 clubs about introducing play-offs, which would see the season end mid-May 2026.

Weston-super-Mare finalise their preparations for the 2025/26 campaign with a series of pre-season games involving all the senior squad, including some new signings and a new club captain in former Wales Under 18s international Charlie Brabham.

Burnham-on-Sea, under new head coach Hayden Tuttiett, the former Weston-super-Mare, Dings Crusaders and Hornets scrum half, will be the first opponents to visit the Recreation Ground on Thursday, August 14, kick-off at 7.30 pm.

This will be followed a week later (August 21) with a double-header against Nailsea & Backwell, with the Clubs' second-team squads kicking off proceedings at 6.30 pm, followed by the two first-team squads at 7.45 pm.

It will be a short trip to Barracks Lane on Saturday, August 23, for the Weston-super-Mare's second team squad to face Avonmouth Old Boys, kick-off 2.30 pm. On Saturday, August 30, the final warm-up game will see Weston-super-Mare travel to play Bridgwater & Albion, kick-off at 2.30 pm.

The format of the Community Cup (formerly Papa Johns) has been changed, and more details are expected shortly. However, the competition will involve clubs in Counties 1 and below, featuring three rounds during the season, with the closing rounds in May.

In the Counties 3 Tribute Ale Somerset South league, Weston United will begin with a home game against Wells on Saturday, September 6, 2026. On the same day, Weston Athletic will be away to Wells 2ndXV in the Counties 4 Tribute Ale Somerset South league.
