Barnet FC has opened applications for its 2026/2027 mascot packages, giving children in Edgware and across the borough the chance to lead the team onto the pitch at The Hive. Each package is valid for one home league match during the season and includes tickets, kit and pitch access for the child and accompanying adults.
The package provides four matchday tickets: two for adults and two for children. One child, aged between 5 and 16, receives a full Barnet FC home kit, shirt, shorts and socks, and a merchandise goodie bag valued at £40. The child will also meet the First Team Manager and players, take part in the pre-match warm-up on the pitch, and walk out with the teams before kick-off.

Last season, every home league match at The Hive featured a mascot, and the club expects similar demand this year. The packages are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Barnet FC has not announced a closing date for applications or a total number of packages available.
