Morecambe F.C. (known as 'the Shrimps') are the leading local football club and on 20 May 2007 won the Conference National playoffs to earn promotion to the Football League for the first time in their history.
As of 2019–20, they are playing in League Two.
They had a successful first season in the Football League, surprising a few teams, and in the 2009–10 season they reached the play-offs, only to lose 7–2, on aggregate, to eventual winners Dagenham & Redbridge.

At the end of the 2009–10 season the team moved from its Christie Park ground to a brand new home, the Globe Arena.
The old ground was demolished to make way for a Sainsbury's supermarket.
