The New Saints are currently 22 points clear at the top of the Cymru Premier table, having accumulated 80 points from 32 games last season. They have scored 81 goals and conceded 25 so far this season, with a lead of 22 points clear of GAP Connah S Quay FC. Their next fixture is against Llandudno at home on September 18, 2026.
