Leicester to visit Oxford City in FA Cup first round

Leicester City will travel to National League North side Oxford City in the 2026-27 FA Cup first round. It is the first time the Foxes have taken part at this stage of the competition since 2008 and they face sixth-tier opposition for a place in the second round. The 2021 winners were relegated to League One for this season with Russell Martin's side currently 14th having had an inconsistent start to the season. Meanwhile, there will be a family affair as Peterborough United face Reading as Posh boss Robbie Savage will take on his son Charlie's side when the first round kicks off around the weekend of Saturday, 7 November. A whopping 91 teams were named during the draw with four sides reaching the first round proper for the first time. Lowest-ranked team Tadley Calleva came from behind twice to force a replay with Aldershot but the ninth-tier outfit fell to a 2-0 defeat by the National League side on Tuesday to miss out on a trip to League One Barnsley. Eighth-tier Stafford Rangers stunned Gateshead 5-0 in their replay to set up a first round tie at home to Grimsby Town. AFC Rushden & Diamonds, also in the eighth tier, have won five games in the competition this season to reach the first round, with their reward a trip to League One side Burton Albion. Bradford City will welcome National League North side Marine in one of the pick of league vs non-league ties. Two seventh-tier sides have plum ties against League One high-fliers - Alvechurch visit Tom Cleverley's Plymouth Argyle while Cray Wanderers host new third-tier leaders Stockport County.
