As the Swansea City correspondent, I’m excited to take you even closer to the heart of the club for the upcoming 2026-27 season. This promises to be a fascinating campaign for the Jack Army, with Vitor Matos hoping to guide his side to the play-offs and, we all hope, take a step back towards the Premier League after eight years away.
A Season Full of Twists and Turns
Whether it's Snoop Dogg turning up to watch Preston North End on a Tuesday night or Adam Idah netting a last-gasp winner over Wrexham, there's seldom a dull day covering events at SA1, and this season may well have plenty of other twists and turns.

Dedicated Coverage Every Day
WalesOnline is the only news outlet dedicated to covering Swansea City every single day of the week, and there's no better place to follow every twist and turn. Swansea were a Premier League club when I first started at WalesOnline and, heading into my ninth season covering the club, I'm genuinely hopeful we will see them in top flight again soon.
Covering this club has been an immense privilege and there's clearly been many highs and lows along the way, and I'm fascinated to see how this new season pans out. Swansea have made a number of solid signings in the transfer market, and it will be interesting to see if it will all come together for Matos and his team and we want you immersed in it all like never before with our Premium service.
