Cambridge United have put tickets on sale for their upcoming EFL Trophy group stage fixture away to Gillingham. The match will be played at MEMS Priestfield Stadium on Tuesday 22 September, with a 7pm kick-off.
Neil Harris's side head into the competition looking to build on their solid start to the League One season. According to the club's official website, the manager said: "Neil Harris' side will head into the campaign looking to make a strong start in the group stage, with an affordable pricing structure in place for travelling U's supporters."
What are the ticket prices for the Gillingham match?
Ticket prices for the EFL Trophy fixture have been set with affordability in mind. An adult ticket costs £10, while a ticket for seniors or young adults is priced at £8. For supporters under the age of 18, the cost is £6. The club has also confirmed that children under the age of 14 can attend the match for free. This pricing structure is designed to encourage a strong away following for the cup competition.
It is important for fans to note that no away credits will be issued for this particular fixture. Additionally, the Cambridge Fans United's Away Travel Coach service will not be running for the trip to Kent. Supporters will need to make their own travel arrangements to get to the MEMS Priestfield Stadium.
How is Cambridge United's season shaping up?
The EFL Trophy match comes during a positive opening phase of the 2026-27 season for Cambridge United. The team currently sits 6th in the League One table, having collected 8 points from their first five matches. Their record shows two wins, two draws, and one loss, with a recent sequence of results reading draw, win, loss, draw, win. They have scored 9 goals while conceding 8, giving them a +1 goal difference.
Despite a strong start, the U's find themselves 4 points behind the early league leaders, Sheffield Wednesday. The focus will soon return to league action, with a home game against Reading scheduled for September 12th. Fans can track the team's progress and upcoming matches on the club's fixtures and standings pages.
What does this mean for the squad's schedule?
Manager Neil Harris will likely use the EFL Trophy as an opportunity to rotate his squad and give minutes to players who have seen less action in the league. The competition provides a different challenge and a chance to build momentum. Balancing the demands of a cup run with the primary objective of League One success is a key part of the season's planning.
The game at Gillingham represents the first step in the EFL Trophy group stage. A positive result would set a good tone for the campaign in this competition. The squad's depth and the manager's selections will be under scrutiny as they aim to advance. Supporters can view the full roster available to Harris on the official squad page.
With ticket details now confirmed, Cambridge United supporters can plan their trip to Kent for the September 22nd fixture. The next competitive action for the U's is that League One encounter with Reading at the Abbey Stadium on September 12th.
