Club Information

Hastings United is the town’s premier football club, with a long and proud tradition of representing Hastings and St Leonards in some of the sport’s most prestigious competitions. There are, however, many expenses connected with running a football club and we rely on support from local businesses and the community.

The Men’s First Team currently plays in the Pitching In Isthmian Football League Premier Division, Step 3 of the non-league pyramid. In addition to league games, the Club also takes part in the FA Cup and the FA Trophy, as well as numerous county and regional cup competitions. During the 2012-13 season, we gained national recognition for reaching the third round of the FA Cup, before being eliminated away to Championship side Middlesbrough FC. This was the furthest the Club had ever progressed in the world famous competition, and our second round replay was televised live to a worldwide audience, and played out in front of a capacity crowd of over 4,000 at the Pilot Field.

In addition to the Mens First Team the Club also has under 18 and under 23 Development Squads which assist in providing a development path for aspiring young footballers in the professional game.

In recent years the Club has promoted and now supports a Hastings United Women’s First Team; Hastings United Inclusive & Disability Team and the Hastings United Walking Football Team

In January 2024 Hastings United Football Club were awarded the coveted 3 Star FA Accreditation which at that date was held by around only 8% of football clubs in England.
