Shrewsbury Town, currently 22nd in League Two, 0 pts, 0W-0D-1L from 1 games, recent form L, has had a mixed bag of results in their last five league season openers. The team's last five league season openers have seen goalless draws and narrow defeats, with the 2025/26 season starting with a goalless draw against Bromley. John Marquis and George Nurse went close for Shrewsbury Town, but neither side could find a breakthrough. In the end, they settled for a point, one that aged very well, considering Bromley went on to win the league and secure promotion. The 2024/25 season began with defeat on the road at Stevenage, with Elliott List rifling home a 58th-minute winner after a clever piece of footwork. It could have been two, but Dan Kemp sent his penalty wide for the hosts. This proved the start of a season to forget for Shrewsbury Town as they were relegated from League One. Matt Taylor enjoyed the perfect start as Shrewsbury Town manager with a 1-0 victory over Cheltenham Town, with Ryan Bowman's second-half strike giving Salop victory on the opening day of the League One season. The 2022/23 season opener saw a goalless stalemate with Morecambe, with few clear chances at either end as both defences came out on top. Shrewsbury Town went on to finish 12th in League One that season with 59 points. The 2021/22 season didn't start well, with Shrewsbury Town losing their first four league games and winning just one of their opening six. Things picked up afterwards, particularly over the winter months, when they suffered just one defeat in 10 games. But Shrewsbury Town were unable to give boss Steve Cotterill a memorable return to the dugout as they slipped to a season-opening home defeat to Burton Albion. With their next fixture vs Oldham on 2027-02-27, Shrewsbury Town will look to improve their current league standing, 3 points behind leaders Walsall.
