Pre-season friendlies

Bolton Wanderers confirmed they would play friendly matches against Longridge Town,[1] Atherton Collieries,[1] FC United of Manchester,[1] Preston North End,[1] Bamber Bridge[1] Barrow,[1] Chorley[1] Blackburn Rovers[1] and Chester[1] as part of their pre-season schedule. Bolton's friendly against Longridge Town was a clause included as part of the transfer agreement for George Thomason[2] though presumably was delayed a year to allow fans to attend. Longridge also decided to use the match to celebrate their 25th anniversary.[3] The match against Chorley is for the Harold Taylor Memorial Trophy, the first time it has been used since 2017.[4] On 23 June Bolton announced they would have two XI sides play against Norwich City's Norwich City U-23 and Norwich City U-18 teams on 31 July before their match against Blackburn Rovers.[5] Only the match against Norwich U-18 appears to have actually happened, however.

Bolton were meant to have a pre-season training camp in

Covid-19 in Bolton. "Essential travel" was permitted, with Bolton's training camp being considered "essential" due to them being elite sportsman – however Bolton decided to cancel the trip as non essential staff weren't allowed to travel in addition to not wanting to become a political tool between Scotland and England over the travel ban.[6]

Mid-season friendlies

On 23 September, Bolton announced the first team would play a friendly against a team consisting of legendary Bolton players on 13 November to help raise money for

Motor Neurone Disease. A quarter of the money raised would also go to former Bolton player Stephen Darby's charity Darby Rimmer MND Foundation, as he had also suffered from Motor Neurone Disease which had forced him to retire.[10]
