Burton Albion prepares for League One opener and unveils new kit

Burton Albion is set to face Stevenage at Pirelli Stadium this Saturday for the opening weekend of the 2026-27 League One season. Burton Albion enters the campaign following a sixth-game unbeaten run at the end of the previous season, though they recently exited the EFL Cup against Blackburn Rovers.

The club faces challenges in its attacking lineup following the departure of striker Jake Beesley to Bradford City. Meanwhile, Stevenage enters the match with momentum after a late victory against Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Cup, highlighted by a goal from new signing Josh Magennis.

In kit news, Burton Albion and Admiral Sports have unveiled the club's third kit for the 26-27 season. The jersey features an off-white cream base with a tonal jacquard pattern, a navy polo collar, and a monochromatic crest.
