Exeter City Football Club is pleased to confirm the home venue arrangements for Exeter City Women’s home league fixtures during the 2025/26 season.

Following a hugely impressive debut campaign in the FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division, finishing fourth in their debut season at this level, Abbie Britton’s side will once again compete in tier three of the women’s football pyramid.

Next season, City will once again be based across two home venues: St James Park and Coach Road in Newton Abbot.

Tier three football requires home grounds to meet specific standards, and currently, St James Park is the only licensed venue within Exeter that meets those criteria. However, the grass surface at SJP is not yet of a technical specification to host all our fixtures.

Next season, at least three fixtures will be held at St James Park, with the remaining fixtures hosted at Coach Road.

Coach Road, which features a high-quality 3G surface, complements the team’s playing style and provides greater resilience in adverse weather conditions. This was evidenced in February’s 2-1 victory over AFC Wimbledon, played in conditions that would have rendered many grass pitches unplayable.

Joe Gorman, Exeter City's CEO, said: “St James Park is at the heart of Exeter City Football Club, and there’s no doubt that playing there provides an incredible experience for our women’s team and supporters alike. It’s a venue that reflects the ambition and progress of the team. 

"We’re fortunate to have access Coach Road, which is a fantastic facility."

"It’s high-quality surface and reliability makes it an ideal venue for consistent, competitive football at this level.”
