9–9–3 overall

The 1927 Frankford Yellow Jackets season was their fourth in the National Football League. The team failed to improve on their previous output of 14–1–2, winning only six league games to finish in seventh place in the league standings.

During the 1927 season the Yellow Jackets played 7 sets of home-and-away back-to-back games — a unique scheduling idiosyncrasy. Always playing the home game first, Frankford was shut out on the back end of 5 of these 7 home-and-away pairings.

Thirteen of the 18 games played by the Yellow Jackets were home at Frankford Stadium.
