The 2026/2027 FA Cup second-round draw is confirmed, with Leicester City facing Dover Athletic and giant-killers Wimborne Town hosting Bradford City. Check out all 20 fixtures and match dates.
The draw for the second round of the 2026/2027 FA Cup has produced several intriguing encounters, with Leicester City set for an away clash against non-league Dover Athletic and giant-killers Wimborne Town preparing to host Bradford City.
Wimborne, who compete in the seventh tier of English football, have emerged as one of the surprise packages of this season’s competition after eliminating League Two side Crawley Town in the opening round.
Their reward is a home meeting with Bradford City of League One, as they seek another memorable result to keep their cup adventure alive.
Leicester City face a different challenge, travelling to Dover Athletic. The Foxes, who were crowned FA Cup champions in 2021, will be hoping to avoid an upset and secure qualification for the third round.
Another notable fixture will see Leyton Orient entertain Port Vale, last season’s quarter-finalists.
Wigan Athletic and Barnsley will also go head-to-head in an all-League One encounter. Wigan previously won the FA Cup in 2013.
Meanwhile, Luton Town, managed by Jack Wilshere, have been drawn away against AFC Fylde.
Barnet’s second-round opponents will be determined by the postponed first-round match between Plymouth Parkway and Berkhamsted, with the winner earning a home fixture against the League Two side.
All second-round fixtures are scheduled for the weekend of December 5, 2026.
