2027 TRIALS
Provisional 2027 trial dates
When girls' and women's academy trials are expected to open in 2027, ahead of the 2027/28 season. Save the dates and start preparing now, instead of finding out too late.
These dates are not set in stone.They are based on when each club opened trials or registration in previous years. Clubs can move, change or cancel trials at any time, and some recruit only through scouts or invitations. Use this page to know when to start preparing, then always check the club's official website or social media for confirmed dates before you apply or travel.
In 2027, expect most academy trials to open between April and June, ahead of the 2027/28 season. Places can be limited and deadlines short, so follow the clubs you are interested in and turn on notifications for @girlsfootballtrials. We post trials as soon as they are announced.
