About our MK Dons news
Latest news on MK Dons, covering Milton Keynes Dons fixtures, results, transfers, Paul Warne, Stadium MK, League One and the AFC Wimbledon rivalry.
Milton Keynes Dons, widely known as MK Dons or simply the Dons, are a professional football club based in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. The side plays at the 30,500-capacity Stadium MK and competes in League One, the third tier of the English football pyramid. Founded in 2004, the club is led by head coach Paul Warne and owned by a Kuwait-based consortium headed by chairman Fahad Al Ghanim.
MK Dons earned promotion from League Two in 2026, sealing a return to the third tier under Warne, who completed the fifth promotion of his managerial career. The success came in his first full season after he arrived in April 2025. Backed by fresh ownership since the 2024 takeover, the club has set its sights on climbing the EFL, keeping fixtures, results and transfer activity firmly in focus for supporters.
On the pitch, MK Dons claimed the League Two title and the Football League Trophy in 2008, and reached the Championship in 2015 before relegation the following season. The years since have brought frequent managerial changes and movement between the third and fourth tiers. Building lasting stability remains a long-standing ambition for the club and its new owners.
Beyond the scoreline, MK Dons have built a loyal following in one of England's largest new towns. The club runs MK Dons Women, who share Stadium MK, while the venue has hosted major events including 2015 Rugby World Cup matches and fixtures at UEFA Women's Euro 2022. Community projects, academy development and matchday culture remain central to the club's identity.
The club's origins are among the most debated in English football. MK Dons were formed after the controversial relocation of Wimbledon F.C. from south London, a move sanctioned in 2002 and completed when the rebranded club emerged in 2004. The decision prompted disaffected supporters to found AFC Wimbledon, fuelling a charged rivalry that endures whenever the two sides meet. Long-time owner Pete Winkelman, the figure behind the move, sold the club in 2024, marking the end of an era.
