Wexford FC vs Longford Town

Wexford FC make the journey north to Longford for this SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division fixture against Longford Town. If you follow the Wexford side - or simply enjoy League of Ireland football at a proper ground - this is a solid midweek evening out. Kick-off is at 19:30 on Saturday, 25 July 2026, and the setting is Bishopsgate, Longford Town’s compact home ground with a capacity of just over 5,000.
Bishopsgate has been Longford Town’s home for decades and carries the low-key, close-to-the-pitch atmosphere that makes the First Division worth watching in person. The ground was renamed from City Calling Stadium to Bishopsgate in 2019 following a naming rights deal, though locals still refer to it both ways. Stands are modest and the crowd tends to gather close to the action - you’ll hear the calls from the dugout and the banter between sets of supporters without any difficulty.
Wexford FC are a supporter-owned club, which gives their away followings a particular character. The club organises coaches to selected away fixtures throughout the season; check wexfordfc.ie in the weeks before the match to see if a bus has been arranged for this one. Tickets are available through the Wexford FC website, with pricing confirmed closer to matchday.
Longford town sits on the N4, roughly two hours’ drive from Wexford and about an hour and a quarter from Dublin. Bus Éireann runs regular services on the Dublin to Longford route, with the town well served by Expressway coaches. Irish Rail also connects Dublin Connolly to Longford station, from where Bishopsgate is about a 15-minute walk. If you are driving from the south or east, the N4 takes you straight in; parking is available around the ground and in the town centre nearby.
If you are based in Wexford for the weekend, the away trip to Longford is one evening’s commitment and leaves plenty of time to enjoy everything the county has to offer before or after. There is more to see in Wexford and across Co. Wexford.
