Torquay United has seen a surge in support for the upcoming 2026/27 season, with over 500 fans purchasing season passes within the first 48 hours of the Plainmoor 2000 campaign. The club, based in Torquay, Devon, is aiming to reach 2,000 season-ticket holders for the first time in its history and has frozen ticket prices to encourage supporters to back the team.
This early momentum follows a challenging end to the 2025/26 season, which saw the men’s team finish third in the league before a narrow defeat in the play-off final. Under the leadership of manager Jimmy Ball, who took charge in March 2026, the club is now preparing for a new promotion push. As part of these preparations, the club has signed 26-year-old Torquay-born striker Callum Morton, who joins as the team’s first summer addition.
Fans can also look forward to high-profile matches at Plainmoor, with the club confirming pre-season friendlies against Devon neighbours Plymouth Argyle on 21 July 2026 and Exeter City on 31 July 2026.
The community support extends to the women’s team as well, following a historic season where they secured a domestic treble and earned promotion to the FA Women’s National League. In preparation for the step up to tier four football, Torquay United Women have announced their retained list, with 14 players offered new deals for the 2026/27 campaign.
