It promises to be another memorable day at Turf Moor as Burnley College and Burnley Football Club team up for the fifth official College Clarets Takeover later this month.
In previous years, it’s seen Burnley overcome the opposition, capping off a record-breaking season with a stunning 3-1 victory over Millwall last year and seeing off Wolves and Huddersfield in previous outings.
This year, the Clarets face Brentford on Saturday 28 February and hope their previous winning streak on College Clarets Takeover days will continue.
Burnley College students and staff will be in the Fan Zone entertaining Clarets fans with activities, giveaways and fantastic entertainment from Performing Arts students.
The Fan Zone will be open from 12 noon ahead of kick off at 3pm.
Bradley Pates, Head of Sport, Fitness and Beauty at Burnley College says it’s a day the college really looks forward to:
“The College Clarets Takeover is a true celebration of community spirit – a day where families, friends and fans come together to enjoy football, fun and free activities at the heart of Burnley.
“This collaboration with Burnley FC highlights what Burnley College represents – creating opportunities, strengthening local relationships, and bringing joy to the people of Burnley.
“We can’t wait to see you at Turf Moor!”
Don’t miss this chance to cheer on the Clarets and soak up the fantastic atmosphere. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or visiting Turf Moor for the first time, make it a day to remember.
Mark your calendar for Saturday 28 February 2026 and join the College Clarets with your friends and family for this unmissable day.
