Bitter rivals Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City meet in the Carabao Cup first round on Monday evening.

Fans thought there would be no Devon Derby in the 2026/27 campaign following the Grecians' relegation from League One, but the draw has thrown up a spicy meeting between the pair.

Despite dropping out of the third tier last term, Exeter enjoyed their clashes with Plymouth as they secured a 2-0 victory on home soil and battled to a 2-2 draw at Home Park.

That's the venue for this cup clash and Plymouth boss Tom Cleverley will be hoping his team can carry their unbeaten pre-season form into the new term and give the home faithful a first victory over their rivals since 2023.

Matt Taylor, who guided Exeter to promotion from League Two during his first managerial stint at the club, knows bagging local bragging rights and a place in the Carabao Cup second round for the first time in three years would be perfect way to start the new campaign.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Plymouth v Exeter on TV and online.
