Leicester to visit Oxford City in FA Cup first round - full draw

The FA Cup’s 2026-27 first round has been drawn, featuring a mix of top-flight teams and lower-league sides, with 91 clubs competing for a spot in the second round. Leicester City, who last reached this stage in 2008, will travel to National League North side Oxford City, marking their return to the competition’s early rounds after a lengthy absence.

Meanwhile, Peterborough United’s manager, Robbie Savage, will face his son Charlie’s Reading side in a family showdown, adding a personal dimension to the draw. The draw also introduced four first-time participants, including lowest-ranked Tadley Calleva, who forced a replay against Aldershot before potentially advancing to League One’s Barnsley.

Bradford City, the League One leaders, will host Marine from the National League North, while AFC Rushden & Diamonds—an eighth-tier club—have secured a trip to Burton Albion after winning five of their matches this season. Other notable pairings include Huddersfield Town against Exeter City, Luton Town facing Chesham United/Forest Green Rovers, and Oxford United taking on Stevenage.
