York City host bottom club Truro City, Southend United travel to Tamworth and Scunthorpe United face a trip to Woking as the promotion races hots up heading into the crucial festive period.
You can catch every inch of the action from all the fixtures live on DAZN , and here is the pick of what to look out for.
Games to watch from the National League this weekend
Altrincham vs Rochdale
- Date: Friday, December 19
- Time: 7:45pm GMT
This tasty Friday-night offering sees table-topping Rochdale head to nearby Altrincham where victory would see them move three points clear at the National League summit ahead of the fixtures on Saturday and Sunday.
Jimmy McNulty's men are in fine form and have racked up three straight league wins since losing 4-1 at York City on November 11.
It is incredibly tight at the top of the division, though, with Rochdale only top on goal difference and level on 46 points with Forest Green Rovers and Carlisle United.
Altrincham, meanwhile, are down in 15th, but they have won four of their last six league games and will be out to spring an upset against their high-flying neighbours.
Yeovil Town vs Forest Green Rovers
- Date: Saturday, December 20
- Time: 7:45pm GMT
Robbie Savage's Forest Green side face an intriguing West Country derby at Yeovil and will be out to lay down another marker of their promotion pedigree.
Rovers have lost just twice in 22 National League games this season and their consistency has seen them joint-top of the table along with Rochdale and Carlisle.
But Savage's men have dropped points in two of their last three games and will be keen to return to winning ways against the Glovers.
Yeovil, for their part, have found victories hard to come by since the start of October, but they have won their past two National League games, at home to Boston United and away to Hartlepool United.
Can they make it three in a row against Savage's ambitious outfit? A fascinating contest awaits.

Boreham Wood vs Carlisle United
- Date: Sunday, December 21
- Time: 4:00pm GMT
Carlisle United have been heavily tipped to win promotion after following their significant summer spending spree with an impressive first half to the season.
The Cumbrians, under the guidance of legendary of former Manchester United and Wales striker Mark Hughes, will be keen to bounce back from last week's 3-1 home loss to Woking when they travel to Boreham Wood.
The Wood are enjoying a fine campaign themselves and lie just two points below Carlisle in the table.
This Sunday afternoon scrap promises to be an fascinating encounter as the hosts, and their visitors, both look to lay down a marker of their promotion credentials.
