York City Football Club is hosting a large-scale screening at the LNER Community Stadium in York on 25 April 2026, allowing supporters to watch the team’s crucial title-deciding match against Rochdale AFC after tickets for the away fixture sold out instantly.
The event, organised by the club in partnership with the York Stadium Management Company and CGC Event Caterers, will feature two large LED screens erected in the East Stand. Turnstiles will open at 11:30 am, ahead of the 12:30 pm kick-off. Tickets are priced at £5 for adults and concessions, with tickets for under-16s available for £1.
Demand for the event has been exceptionally high, with 850 tickets sold within 10 minutes of release. The club has since released additional tickets to accommodate more supporters. Food and drink will be available from stadium kiosks throughout the screening.
York City currently leads the National League with 107 points, holding a two-point advantage over Rochdale. This final match of the season represents a significant opportunity for the club to secure automatic promotion to the Football League for the first time since 2016. Under the leadership of manager Stuart Maynard and captain Ollie Pearce, who has recorded over 30 goals this season, the team is aiming to conclude what has been described as the tightest title race in the league’s history.
To ensure the event runs smoothly and safely, the club has requested that all fans remain behind the concrete wall in the stands at all times, including before, during, and after the match. Officials have warned that any breach of this boundary could jeopardise the event for all in attendance.
