Season 1926–27 was the 50th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League for the 28th time and the Scottish Cup for the 39th time.

Overview

Dumbarton decline in league football continued, and with 5 defeats coming in their first 7 games it was clear that the team would struggle. In the end a miserable 18th place out of 20 in the Second Division was achieved with 32 points - a distant 34 behind champions Bo'ness.^[1]

In the Scottish Cup, Dumbarton reached the second round before losing out to Alloa after a replay.

Locally, Dumbarton were again runners-up in the Dumbartonshire Cup. A fortunate 'toss of the coin' win over Clydebank in the replayed semifinal was followed by a heavy defeat to non-league Helesburgh in the final.
