The Hornets’ newly-formed Under-21 side will begin their league season with an away match against Sheffield Wednesday on Monday, August 10.

Watford will be competing in the Under-21 Professional Development League Two South after their application for category two status under the Elite Player Performance Plan was accepted by the Professional Game Board at the start of this month.

The Hornets, who can play three overage outfield players and an overage goalkeeper in the league competition, host Hull City on Monday, August 17.

The Golden Boys are currently in discussions with St Albans City over using the Saints’ Clarence Park stadium as a home ground.

However, Watford must host at least three home league matches Vicarage Road and at least three more at their London Colney training ground.

In addition to the club’s Under-21 games being released, the Hornets’ Under-18s’ Professional Development League Two South campaign have also been announced.

Both fixtures lists are below.
