- The 1927–28 season was the 27th season of competitive football played by Cardiff City F.C. and the team's seventh consecutive season in the First Division of the Football League. The team were reigning holders of the FA Cup starting the campaign, having won the previous year's final. As a result, there were few significant changes in the playing squad from the previous season, with the club choosing to invest funds in their home ground Ninian Park. Despite being one of the lowest scoring sides in the league, Cardiff finished sixth in the First Division and were considered title contenders until late into the campaign when they suffered a poor run of form. In their defence of the FA Cup, Cardiff recorded victories over Southampton and Liverpool to reach the third round where they were eliminated by Nottingham Forest. In the Welsh Cup, Cardiff were able to retain their title by defeating Bangor 2–0 in the final, both goals being scored by Hughie Ferguson. They also competed in the 1927 FA Charity Shield against amateur side Corinthians as winners of the previous year's FA Cup. Ferguson was again on the scoresheet to help his side to a 2–1 victory with Len Davies scoring the winning goal. George McLachlan appeared more than any other player during the season, featuring in 50 matches in all competitions. Ferguson was the club's top goalscorer for the second consecutive season, netting 25 times in all competitions. Poor attendance figures continued from the previous season due to the economic downturn in the South Wales region with a season low league crowd of 6,606 attending a league match against Derby County in November 1927.
