Folkestone Invicta are Sutton’s penultimate opponents of their 2026/27 pre-season campaign, with the newly promoted Stripes making the trip to Gander Green Lane on Tuesday, 28th July (7:45pm KO).

This also marks the first encounter between the two sides since 2011, having clashed in the Ryman Premier League with a 1-0 win at home and a 2-0 win away.

Invicta enjoyed a stellar 2025/26 campaign, storming the Isthmian League Premier Division to win the title with a whopping 96 points, 12 points ahead of second-placed Aveley, and subsequently sees them visit South London as part of their preparations for their inaugural campaign in the National League South.

A number of other pre-season friendlies will be confirmed in due course ahead of Chris Agutter’s first full season in charge in SM1.

In addition, ticket information for the clash against Folkestone will be announced shortly.
