EXETER, England (Interstat) — Exeter City and Northampton Town opened their League One seasons with a 0-0 draw at St James Park on Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026.

The match failed to produce a goal despite Exeter entering as a strong favorite. Interstat’s ELO system gave the Grecians a 69.1 percent probability to win, and its simulator projected a 1-1 scoreline, but neither side could find a breakthrough.

The primary moment of quality came from Exeter substitute Dean Campbell, who provided a key assist that was ultimately not converted. Campbell also received a yellow card in the 68th minute, the match’s only booking.

The result leaves both clubs with identical records to start the campaign: 0 wins, 0 losses and 1 draw across all competitions.
