Grimsby Town’s pre-season trip to Slovenia continues on Saturday 18th July with a behind-closed-doors friendly against FC Zorya Luhansk, and supporters will be able to follow Grimsby Vs Zorya Luhansk live on Mariners TV. The match is scheduled for 12pm BST, which is 1pm local time, and it gives David Artell’s side another useful test against strong European opposition during the club’s week-long training camp.
The controlled setting is the point here. With no supporter access available in person, Grimsby Town can use the fixture to manage player workloads while still pushing the squad against opponents from the Ukrainian Premier League. That balance matters in pre-season: the result is always secondary, but the rhythm, intensity and fitness work can tell the coaching staff plenty.
How to watch Grimsby Vs Zorya Luhansk
The match will be streamed live on Mariners TV and is also included for International Monthly Video subscribers. For those buying a match pass, the cost is £7.99. It is a straightforward option for supporters who want access to a fixture that would otherwise be unavailable because it is being played behind closed doors.
This is also part of a busier pre-season picture for Grimsby Town, with a visit to Hartlepool United due next weekend. For now, though, Saturday’s friendly is the main focus: another chance for Artell to assess his squad, another chance for supporters to see where the team is in its preparations, and another reminder that pre-season is as much about control and conditioning as it is about the scoreline.
