Leamington FC concluded their final home league match of the season with a 2-3 defeat against Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday 18 April 2026 at the Your Co-op Community Stadium near Bishop’s Tachbrook. The result marks the end of a difficult campaign for the club, which has been confirmed relegated from the National League North for the second time in four years.

The match served as an emotional farewell for long-serving defender Theo Streete, who scored both goals for the home side in his final appearance at the ground before his retirement. Before kick-off, the club also honoured long-standing volunteer and supporter Kate Fisher, who is stepping down from her role after 21 years of service.

This season has seen significant changes for the club, founded in 1933 and affectionately known as The Brakes. Long-serving manager Paul Holleran, who spent 16 years and oversaw 789 games at the club, resigned on 1 January 2026. He was succeeded on 11 March 2026 by new manager Scott Easterlow, a Leamington native who joined the team after managing over 300 games at Racing Club Warwick.
