Latest news on Plymouth Argyle FC, PAFC, the Pilgrims and the Greens, covering League One results, transfers, fixtures and team news from Home Park, Devon.

Plymouth Argyle Football Club, founded in 1886 and turning professional in 1903, is one of English football's most geographically distinctive clubs. Based at Home Park in Plymouth, Devon, the Pilgrims are the most southerly and westerly Football League club in England, and represent the largest city in the country never to have hosted top-flight men's football. Under head coach Tom Cleverley, appointed in June 2025, the club is competing in EFL League One following relegation from the Championship at the end of the 2024/25 season.

The 2025/26 League One campaign proved a story of two halves. A difficult start left Argyle near the bottom of the table before a significant upturn in form saw Cleverley named EFL League One Manager of the Month for March 2026. The Pilgrims ultimately narrowly missed out on the play-offs. The Argyle Community Trust was also crowned EFL Community Club of the Season for 2025/26, a significant recognition of the club's work beyond the pitch.

Plymouth's passionate fanbase, the Green Army, is legendary in the EFL for the distances supporters travel to away fixtures. The Devon Derby against Exeter City remains one of the fiercest rivalries in the third tier, and Home Park's Devonport End creates an atmosphere that visiting teams routinely cite as one of the most intimidating in the division. The club's women's team also enjoyed a strong 2025/26 campaign, reaching the play-off final before a narrow defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Owner Simon Hallett has consistently spoken of building a financially sustainable, community-focused club, and those values resonate strongly across Devon and Cornwall.

Argyle's history is rich with remarkable moments. The club famously beat Brazilian giants Santos 3–2 in a 1973 friendly at Home Park, a night that became folklore, with Pelé netting a penalty in a losing cause in front of nearly 38,000 supporters. The Pilgrims have claimed the third-tier league title a record five times, most recently as League One champions in 2022/23 when they won promotion back to the Championship. The club endured financial administration in the early 2010s, dropping to League Two, before rebuilding under a series of progressive managers and eventually returning to the second tier.

Off the pitch, Plymouth Argyle's impact on the wider community through the Argyle Community Trust extends across sport, education, and health programmes serving Plymouth and the surrounding region. The club has also invested in expanding its training facilities at Harpers Football Centre adjacent to Home Park, and is developing an international fanbase, including a growing ArgyleUSA supporter community. Home Park itself has a capacity of around 17,900 and has been the club's home since 1903, with ongoing development work shaping its future.
