Crewe FC have confirmed they will join the North West Counties Football League ahead of the 2026/27 season, as the club continues to rise by joining the non-league pyramid.

The move into the National League System comes alongside the opening of the club's new venue at the Excel Building Sports Pavilion, West Street.

This new site includes a new 3G pitch, live sport screens, food and drink facilities, an upstairs bar with lift access, and space for private events and community use.

In a statement confirming the NWCFL move, Crewe FC said: "As a club, however, we now find ourselves at a point where we must look forward and continue to strengthen our player pathway and progress within the game.

"With that in mind, we are excited to begin a new chapter within the National League System and the North West Counties Football League."

The club said the new venue is designed to be more than a matchday facility, with bookings available for pitch hire, parties and local events.

Crewe FC Site Manager, Cobi Bateman, said: "It's not just about football, it's about creating a place where people can come together, enjoy themselves, and feel part of something.

"Whether you're here to support the team, watch a match, host an event, or just have a drink with friends, we want it to be a place people keep coming back to."
