Middlesbrough have announced specific eligibility criteria for supporters wishing to buy tickets for the upcoming Championship home fixture against Southampton. The match at the Riverside is scheduled for Friday, 27 November, with an 8pm kick-off.
The club said in a statement: "To purchase tickets during this initial general sale window, supporters must meet all of the following." They must have a purchase history for at least one competitive Southampton FC Men's First Team match between the 2020/21 and 2025/26 seasons. Alternatively, supporters can qualify by having bought tickets for one or more competitive Southampton matches in the current 2026/27 season.
Ticket pricing and availability
Adult tickets for the game start from £30, with junior tickets available from £20. The club confirmed that any further changes to these criteria will be communicated via its official website and supporter email updates.
This high-demand fixture comes as Michael Carrick's side lead the Championship, sitting first with 25 points from 12 games. They are two points clear of Swansea City and are unbeaten in their last five matches, a run that includes a 5-1 away win at Bolton last week. Top scorer Will Lankshear netted twice in that victory, taking his season tally to 11 goals. The team has scored an average of 2.1 goals per game this season, a key factor in their strong start. Their recent form of three wins and two draws from the last five games, including a 2-2 draw with Cardiff and a 3-2 win at Stoke City, has stays at the summit. The side has scored 27 goals and conceded 17 across the campaign so far.
The team's strong form and league position are expected to drive significant interest in the Southampton match later next month. The club's next fixture is a home match against Charlton Athletic on Saturday, 31 October, with a 3pm kick-off.
