Wexford FC vs Longford Town

What to Expect

Longford Town come to Ferrycarrig Park on Friday 2 October 2026 for a League of Ireland First Division fixture, kick-off 7:45pm. This is the second last home game of Wexford FC’s 2026 league season, with UCD AFC due at the ground a fortnight later on 16 October. Longford are one of the longer established names in the division, a club with two FAI Cup wins in their history, and the trip from the midlands to the south east is one of the longer journeys either set of supporters makes in a league season.

Early October is when the First Division table stops being theoretical. Promotion play off places and the relegation position are usually settled inside the final month, so a Friday night in October at Ferrycarrig Park tends to be a sharper watch than a midsummer fixture. The ground puts you close to the pitch, with a covered stand on one side and terracing behind the goal, and floodlit football under an autumn sky is the reason a lot of locals pick this fixture over the televised alternative. Check the club’s channels in the days beforehand: the league reschedules games for broadcast and for cup commitments, and Wexford FC list all fixture dates as subject to change.
