After revealing the first month fixture list of the upcoming 2015/16 campaign two weeks ago, the NWCFL released the entirety of every club's fixture list on their official website at 10pm last night.

As already known, Widnes FC will begin their 2015/16 season with a home game against Ashton Town. Town, managed by John Brownrigg, will visit the Select Security Stadium on Saturday 8th August.

The first away fixture for Steve Hill’s squad will be a trip to Stockport Sports Village to face newcomers to the league Stockport Town in the first ever meeting between the two sides. The return fixture takes places on Saturday 10th August.

Monday Night Football returns to the Select Security Stadium on 17th August as Cheadle Town are the visitors before Widnes make the trip to Abbey Lane to take on last year's beaten playoff finalists Hanley Town five days later.

Litherland REMYCA are Widnes' opponents on Boxing Day and Easter Monday in the traditional NWCFL "Derby Day" slot. Litherland Sports Park is the venue for the festive fixture prior to the return fixture at the Select Security Stadium on 28th March.
