Loughborough Lightning Season Tickets for the 2025/26 campaign are on sale NOW!
The African Violets enjoyed a strong second year of playing all of their home Premiership Women’s Rugby games at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens in 2024/25 – picking up a first-ever victory over Saracens and finished off with a thrilling last-minute success over Trailfinders Women.
After a promising second half of the season which saw Nathan Smith’s side win five of their last seven games, excitement is building for an even better 2025/26 campaign.
A host of international stars who are set to light up the Guinness Women’s Six Nations and upcoming Women’s Rugby World Cup have already committed their futures to the Club, with Sadia Kabeya and Krissy Scurfield among those who will be leading the charge for Lightning.

“We enjoyed some really special moments at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens during the 2024/25 season,” said Lightning’s head coach, Nathan Smith.
“Key to that is the support we have received. It means so much to me and the girls to have supporters there of all ages, cheering us on.
“This is a massive year for women’s rugby with the World Cup coming to England and specifically Northampton for six fixtures. Everyone is hoping there will be increased interest in the domestic game upon its conclusion, and we’re already counting down the days until we are back in action next term. The best way to get behind the team and to secure your seat at the best possible rate is to get a Lightning Season Ticket for 2025/26.”
The 2025/26 PWR season kicks off on the weekend of Saturday 25 October 2025, just a few weeks after the conclusion of the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup. The PWR Cup will precede it in early August and September, but fixtures will not be included in season tickets and will not be staged at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens due to it being a Rugby World Cup host venue.
