Brentford Under-21s' and Under-18s' fixtures for the 2026/27 Premier League 2 and U18 Premier League seasons have been confirmed.
The young Bees will embark on their first campaigns in the respective competitions since Brentford Academy was awarded Category One status in April.
The PL2 sees each team play 20 games, with the top side at the conclusion of those fixtures crowned league phase winners.
The top-16 ranked teams then compete in a knockout competition to crown the overall PL2 champions, which Brighton & Hove Albion claimed last season.
Teams ranked 17th-24th will contest a similar knockout competition against the top eight sides from the Professional Development League.
Sam Saunders' side will head north five times across the league campaign, while also competing in the EFL Trophy and Premier League Cup.
The U18 Premier League runs slightly differently, with teams split into north and south groups, the winner of each group then facing off in the national final to decide the overall competition winner, which Chelsea claimed last season.
Gary McDermott's side will play 30 league games this coming season, as well as competing in the FA Youth Cup and PL Cup.
All fixtures are subject to change and details regarding kick-off times and venues will be published on the club website and academy social media platforms when available.
