The Bluebird, Cardiff City FC's official matchday programme, returns for the 2025/26 campaign.
"The feedback we received last season for the 125th anniversary-inspired retro cover series was really fantastic and meant a lot to the small team of contributors that pull these pages together for City fans to enjoy every matchday.
"It highlighted to us that the passion for the traditional matchday programme still exists amongst Bluebirds supporters and that, like us, you still crave it as part of the matchday experience.
"You’ll notice the small increase in cost this season, something that was unavoidable with inflation and the rising costs of production. It’s in keeping with the price of many other programmes at rounds around the country and our hope is that you’ll feel that its content and keepsake value are worth it."
Our cover theme for 2025/26 is simple – iconic Cardiff City moments meet the modern Bluebirds squad!
We are proud to reveal our first cover of the 2025/26 season, which recreates a classic Cardiff City Stadium celebration. With his red-hot pre-season form, it was only fitting for Yousef Salech to take the place of Michael Chopra on the cover of our opening edition.
As ever, please feel free to contact us with any ideas or personal news that you’d like to see printed in our Blueword section. The programme is about your stories as much as it is the team’s.
Thank you so much for your continued interest and support. Hopefully, future generations of Bluebirds will dust off this edition with interest in years to come. Take it home and keep it safe.
