Exeter City Football Club will receive £240,000 from the Supporters' Trust for the 2026-27 season.

The Trust, which owns the club, has more than doubled its financial contribution.

What happened?

The increased funding is a significant step forward for the club, demonstrating the power of supporter ownership. The Trust gave City £112,000 last season and loaned the club over £600,000 to ease financial pressures.

Why it matters for Exeter City Football Club

The funding boost is crucial for the club after relegation to League Two. New manager Matt Taylor warned that Exeter will have one of the lowest budgets in League Two next season. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | Funding for 2026-27 season | £240,000 | | Funding for 2025-26 season | £112,000 |
