Football pitches
There are many bookable football pitches across Maidstone for weekly adult and junior games. Schools and community organisations may also book our pitches.
We provide pitches for league fixtures during the football league season, from September to April. FA-affiliated leagues have priority for league fixtures and cup games as part of our support of Kent FA.

Book a home pitch
Teams can request one of our pitches as their home pitch for the season. The pitch can be booked for all home fixtures in the league and cups. Pitches may be used on the weekend, so it can be home to more than one team.
A deposit of £100 will be charged to secure a pitch for the season. Deposits can be refunded in the first quarter if it is used for home fixtures. Teams that do not use their secured pitch for matches will not be refunded.
To request a home pitch for the 2025/2026 season, complete a home pitch form and send it to the email below.
Pre-season or casual games
Between May and August each year, we aim to provide some pitches for:
- friendly fixtures
- one-off charity matches
- social matches
We will offer as many as we can, but pitches must be rested and ready for the start of the next football season.
To book a one-off match, email pitchbookings@maidstone.gov.uk
Pay for a booking
You can pay by BACS, over the phone, or in person. We will send each team a monthly invoice. Teams must pay for any matches played up to that point.
To pay by phone, call 01622 602 544 and press six. Enter your account number and the invoice number. Do not put a space between the two numbers.
Code of conduct
We follow the FA Respect guidelines, and we expect all teams to follow them. Our booking terms and conditions include our guidelines and pitch code of conduct. This will be sent to teams when they book.
If the rules are broken regularly, bookings will be cancelled and teams will not be allowed to use the pitch again.
