Canvey Island FC has been relegated from the Isthmian Premier Division following a 3-2 defeat against Billericay Town on 6 April 2026. The result at the end of their final match of the season confirmed that the club will drop down to Step 4 football for the 2026-27 campaign.
The match saw Freddie Price score a consolation goal for Canvey Island FC in the 89th minute, but it was not enough to prevent a loss. The club finished the 2025-26 season in 22nd place at the bottom of the table, recording 6 wins, 9 draws, and 24 losses across 39 matches, leaving them with a total of 27 points.
Garry Kimble, who was appointed as manager in October 2025 to replace Peter Taylor, oversaw the team’s final months in the division. Following the conclusion of the season, the club expressed its gratitude to supporters for their continued backing throughout what has been a difficult year for the team based at Park Lane.
Canvey Island will now join Hashtag United, Cray Valley Paper Mills, and Potters Bar Town in moving down to the next division. The club, which was founded in 1926, remains known for its historical success, including winning the FA Trophy in the 2000-01 season.
