This week @ St Mary's: December 22nd
Check out our latest weekly round-up as we offer you a comprehensive guide of everything that's going on inside Southampton Football Club...
SAINTS SHARE SPOILS WITH LEAGUE LEADERS
Southampton were forced to settle for a point in their final home match of 2025 against 10-man Coventry at St Mary’s.
In an opening 45 minutes that saw both teams exchange blows, the Sky Blues’ persistence paid off a minute before the break as Ephron Mason-Clark headed home to break the deadlock.
Jay Dasilva was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Welington and Saints equalised eight minutes later in an explosive start to the second period, but Saints were denied a fifth straight home victory as Coventry dug deep for a point.
SAINTS SET FOR AWAY DOUBLEHEADER
Next up for Tonda Eckert’s side is back-to-back away games, starting with the Boxing Day trip to Oxford (Friday, 3pm GMT).
Three days later, Saints head to the Midlands to take on Birmingham on Monday 29th December (8.15pm GMT), before returning home to host Millwall on New Year’s Day (3pm GMT).
Both away trips have already sold out to visiting supporters, but the Millwall showdown is now on general sale.
WOMEN RETURN TO WINNING WAYS
Southampton FC Women returned to winning ways in the Barclays Women's Super League 2 as they closed out 2025 with a 2-0 win at Sheffield United.
Jess Simpson opened the scoring in the first half with a flicked header over the top of goalkeeper Sian Rogers, before Amy Goddard doubled the lead in the second period, following up Mary Bashford’s parried shot.
Next up for Simon Parker’s side is the small matter of the south coast derby at St Mary’s on Saturday 10th January (5.30pm GMT), with tickets now on general sale.
ACADEMY GAMES POSTPONED
Both our Under-21s and Under-18s saw their latest fixtures postponed due to adverse weather conditions.
The Under-21s’ home clash with RB Leipzig in the Premier League International Cup was first to fall foul of the weather, while the Under-18s’ proposed meeting with Ipswich at Staplewood was also called off before a ball was kicked.
Both sides will return to action in the new year following a Christmas break.
WOMEN’S TEAM SPREAD FESTIVE CHEER
Southampton FC Women visited Southampton Children's Hospital last week to hand out presents on the wards, in partnership with the Southampton Hospitals Charity.
Christmas cheer spread through Southampton Children’s Hospital as the squad made their first-ever festive visit to spend time with patients and their families.
The team visited wards across the hospital to meet children who are currently undergoing treatment or facing the prospect of spending the festive period in hospital, handing out gifts and taking time to chat with patients and their loved ones in partnership with Southampton Hospitals Charity.
CASPAR’S CHRISTMAS CATCH-UP
Check out some more wholesome festive content, as we went for a wander around Southampton city centre with Caspar Jander.
