On 17 May, Blackpool announced their first four pre-season matches, against AFC Fylde, Sunderland, Tranmere Rovers and Crewe Alexandra.[6]

Two new signings occurred in June, to become official on 1 July: Jordan Rhodes,[7] who was on loan at the club the previous season, joined on a free transfer, as did fellow striker Ashley Fletcher.[8] They were followed by defenders Zac Ashworth and Hayden Coulson, the latter of whom was at Blackpool on loan the previous season.

On 8 July, Welsh midfielder Lee Evans joined on a free transfer.[9]

The club's first pre-season friendly took place at AFC Fylde on 12 July. The hosts won 3–1, with Jake Daniels scoring Blackpool's goal.
