About Our Club
Kirkburton Football Club is more than just a team; we are a family built on the foundation of grassroots football. Our mission is to provide an inclusive environment where every player, from our youngest U5s to U18s, Wildcats and through to our senior men’s and women’s teams, can thrive. We believe that football is a universal language of unity, and we are dedicated to fostering that spirit through every match and every training session.
We are proud to have been voted Club of the Year by Sheffield County FA – a recognition of our commitment to our players, volunteers, and wider community. Our Young Leaders Programme empowers the next generation, developing confident, responsible individuals while also providing dedicated support for our SEND members, ensuring football is accessible to all.
Together, we are driven to build a better future for everyone – creating opportunities, inspiring growth, and strengthening our community both on and off the pitch for generations to come

Kirkburton FC Launches Its First Ever Girls’ Teams! 💙⚽
We are absolutely delighted to announce another exciting milestone in the club’s journey as Kirkburton Football Club prepares to enter two Under 12 Girls’ teams into the West Riding Girls League for the 2026/27 season. Following the launch of our girls’ pathway, the response from the local community has been nothing short of incredible. Interest has exceeded all expectations, with enough players signing up for two squads in our very first season. This marks a huge step forward in our ambition to provide football opportunities for everyone within our community. From our youngest players right through to our senior teams, we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where every player can develop, enjoy the game and make lifelong memories. A huge thank you to all the parents, players and volunteers who have supported the launch.

What a day it was!

Our annual Parents Cup once again proved to be a fantastic success, raising over £5,000 for the incredible Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF). The day got underway with a brand-new addition to the calendar as Kirkburton Football Club proudly hosted its first Under 7 and Under 8 Charity Tournament. It was fantastic to welcome so many young players, coaches and families to the club, with a morning full of smiles, brilliant football and great sportsmanship.
As the afternoon arrived, attention turned to the ever-popular Parents Cup, where parents swapped the sidelines for the pitch in another entertaining tournament filled with plenty of goals, laughs and friendly competition. None of this would have been possible without the amazing support from our volunteers, coaches, players, parents, sponsors, local businesses and everyone who attended throughout the day. Your generosity and commitment helped make this one of our most successful fundraising events to date. Every penny raised will help support the life-changing work of the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund, a charity that remains incredibly close to the hearts of many within our football family. Thank you to everyone who played a part—we’re already looking forward to making next year’s event even bigger and better!
Up The Burton! 💙💛

Sign-On Now Open for the 2026/27 Season 📲⚽
Preparations for another exciting season are well underway, and sign-on is now open for all existing Kirkburton Football Club players. To ensure players are registered with the FA and eligible to play from the start of the new season, all sign-on fees must be completed by mid-August. For players already registered with the club, the process couldn’t be simpler. Simply log in to your Team Fee Pay account, select your player and pay the initial signing-on fee. Once this has been completed, your registration can be processed for the 2026/27 season. Please don’t leave it until the last minute. Completing your sign-on early helps our volunteers finalise registrations, organise squads, order kit and ensure everything is in place ahead of the new campaign. If you experience any issues with Team Fee Pay or have any questions regarding your registration, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your team coach or a member of the club committee. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another fantastic season of football and another year of making memories both on and off the pitch.
