Games to watch from the National League this weekend

Solihull Moors vs Southend United

• Date: Saturday, August 30
• Time: 12:30 pm BST 

Southend have used last season's play-off disappointment to fuel their start to this campaign and remain unbeaten so far in 2025-26. 

Kevin Maher's side did stop their first points of the season on Monday as they drew 1-1 with Hartlepool, but that was the first league goal they had conceded, and take that defensive record to Solihull in the weekend's lunchtime game. 

The hosts haven't fared as well so far and are still looking for their first three points. They go into the game off back-to-back defeats, including last weekend's 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Aldershot. 

Brackley Town vs Scunthorpe United 

• Date: Saturday, August 30
• Time: 5:30 pm BST

Andy Butler must be over the moon at the start Scunthorpe have made on their return to the National League level, and head to Brackley in Saturday's late game still unbeaten. 

The Iron managed to grind out a 1-1 draw on Monday against Halifax, despite being down to ten men for over half of the game and it continues their good run. 

Brackley have also held their own after being promoted this season, with one loss and pulled off one of the results of the season so far last weekend when they halted Rochdale's early-season momentum. 

Braintree Town vs Forest Green 

• Date: Saturday, August 23
• Time: 3 pm BST  

Top of the National League right now are Robbie Savage's Forest Green Rovers, who are yet to drop a point after their opening day draw with Solihull. 

On Monday, Thomas Andrew Knowles' 94th-minute winner saw Rovers steal the win over Eastleigh and they'll look to keep that run going as they head to Braintree. 

Braintree have had a mixed bag so far this season, but became the first team to feel the power of Carlisle's muscle on Monday, as they were thrashed 5-0 by Mark Hughes' men.
