Oldham Athletic Relegated from League Two

Oldham Athletic have been relegated from League Two after a 2-1 defeat to Salford City. The loss marks the end of their 115-year stay in the Football League.

What happened?

The match was halted due to a pitch invasion by protesting Oldham fans, but was later restarted behind closed doors. Oldham's Junior Luamba missed a free header early on, and Salford took the lead through Matt Smith. Davis Keillor-Dunn equalized for Oldham with a penalty, but Salford regained the lead through Brandon Thomas-Asante.

Why it matters for Oldham

The relegation is a significant blow to the club, who had been struggling financially and on the pitch. As of our last update, Oldham are currently 10th in England League Two, with 68 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WLLLL. Their last result was a 3-0 win over Accrington ST on 2026-05-02.

What comes next?

The club will now face severe punishment from the FA and the EFL for the pitch invasion. Oldham's fans have been protesting against the club's ownership and management, and the relegation is likely to increase tensions. The club's future is uncertain, but they will need to rebuild and regroup for the upcoming season.
