While newly-promoted side, the West London Warriors will travel to the east of capital to take on London United on Sunday 26 February, after the Dragons, who surprisingly finished sixth last season, host Bristol Pirates that same day.
Real Birmingham, who finished second in '11, will host newly-renamed Sporting Club Sheffield (formerly the Strikers), FC London will host Leeds Lightning, Merseyside FC (née the Mighty Rats) host Newcastle Geordies, South Coast Rangers visit London Town, Manchester Rockers host Dublin Shamrocks, Glasgow FC visit East Anglia to take on the Knights, and Leicester Phantoms, who managed a Houdini-style escape from relegation in '11, open up against newly-promoted Essex, who were admitted due to the financial situation of second-to-last placed Edinburgh.
