Town v Gown 2025
The Town v Gown football fixture will return this March and for the first time in the event’s 130-year history will incorporate a women’s match.
Town v Gown sporting events in the city have a rich history, but the football fixture has been missing in recent years.
The University of Oxford, Oxford City FC and Oxford University Association Football Club have been working together to revive a day of football that will bring the whole community together.
The event will be held at The MGroup Stadium, and all money raised will be donated to charity partners of the Club and University.
News that the football fixture will return in 2025 follows the announcement of a long-term partnership between the University and the oldest football club in Oxford last summer. Since then, both organisations have been working closely on a number of projects incorporating research, education and facilities.
The event will include a dinner with guest speakers, please see below information and timings.

Gates open 4:00pm
Women’s KO 4:30pm
