Preview

Plymouth face another year of rebuilding after a late-season play-off charge came undone at the last minute in the 2025/26 season. Tom Cleverley will also have to manage without former talisman Lorent Tolaj, who joined Championship side Bristol City for a substantial fee.

Exeter City make the short trip to Home Park as a League Two club after they were relegated from League One on the final day of last season following a four-game winless streak to end the year. With only two new signings to boast of and several key players having departed, the Grecians face a tough task to upset their fierce local rivals.
