The National Badminton League has returned to the Ipswich Corn Exchange and The Saxons hosted three fantastic home matches this season, on:

● Monday 8 December 2025

● Tuesday 17 February 2026

● Monday 23 March 2026.

The Saxons are supported by the three local county badminton associations of Suffolk, Essex and Norfolk.

The Saxons are showcasing some of the top talent in the country led by international coach & former Olympian, Anthony Clark and captained by Sean Vendy, ranked World number 10 in men’s doubles.

The NBL is entertaining to watch, exciting to play and aspirational to be part of – for fans, clubs and future talent

The format of the fixtures is open singles, women's singles, open doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. Matches are fast paced with every point scored over the five disciplines contributing to the total score for each fixture: the winners being the team with the highest total number of points gained.

Finals Day at Alexandra Palace

The Saxons have reached the Finals Day at Alexandra Palace on Saturday 23rd May. In the semi-final, they will play Loughborough Sport starting at 11:30am. The final will be played at 6:30pm.

This initiative is not just about bringing elite badminton to the Eastern Region; it’s about inspiring young athletes and fostering grassroots participation. We believe in showcasing badminton’s unique ability to unite and uplift our communities. Every child deserves the chance to engage in sports, build confidence, and develop essential life skills.

The Saxons project aims to provide access to training, equipment, and mentorship for those who may lack these vital resources. Together, we can create a positive impact that extends far beyond the playing field.
