Basingstoke Bison Confirm 2025/26 Pre-Season Fixtures 


The Basingstoke Bison are delighted to confirm our pre-season schedule ahead of the 2025/26 PINIHL campaign. With four exciting games lined up, we’re ready to step back onto the ice and kick off a brand-new era for the Herd. 


After a couple of seasons away, this is more than just pre-season, it’s the start of something special. A new chapter. A return home. And we can’t wait to see the Bison faithful pack the stands once again. 


We get things going with a classic rivalry weekend against the Swindon Wildcats in a home-and-away double-header, then the following weekend, we face the Bristol Pitbulls in another back-to-back showdown: 


Friday 5th September Basingstoke Bison vs Swindon Wildcats at 7:30PM (HOME) 


Saturday 6th September Swindon Wildcats vs Basingstoke Bison at 6:30PM (AWAY) 


Saturday 13th September Bristol Pitbulls vs Basingstoke Bison at 7:00PM (AWAY) 


Sunday 14th September Basingstoke Bison vs Bristol Pitbulls at 5:15PM at Planet Ice Basingstoke (HOME) 


These fixtures are your first chance to see the new-look Bison in action, building chemistry, setting the tone, and laying the foundation for what promises to be an unforgettable season. 


Ticket details for our home fixtures will be released very soon, keep an eye on our website and social media for updates. Season Ticket Holders can purchase their seat at the pro-rata rate of their Season Ticket if they wish and will receive an email when tickets are released with further information.
