The 1926-27 season was Blackpool F.C.'s 26th season (23rd consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the 22-team Division Two, then the second tier of English football, finishing ninth.

Season synopsis

An opening day defeat at Nottingham Forest was tempered by three straight victories.

A run of four consecutive defeats in October set the team back, but the fourteen victories that they put on the board during the remainder of the season helped them obtain a top-half finish.

The team sent Frank Buckley on his way to pastures new with a 5–0 home victory over Notts County on the final day. He became manager of Wolves the following season, remaining with them for seventeen years.
