The FA Cup second-round matchups have been finalized for the weekend of December 5, 2026. Wimborne Town, seventh-tier side, will host Bradford City in a home tie, while Leicester City — the 2021 winners — must travel to non- league Dover Athletic away from home to advance to the third round.
Seventh-tier Wimborne produced one of the biggest first-round upsets by defeating League Two side Crawley Town, making them one of the lowest-ranked teams remaining in the competition. The Magpies will now welcome League One outfit Bradford City as they continue their impressive run in the tournament.
Leicester's path to the third round is not straightforward, as they face Dover Athletic at a neutral venue. Meanwhile, Leyton Orient will host Port Vale, last season's quarter-finalists, while 2013 FA Cup winners Wigan Athletic are set to play Barnsley in an all-League One encounter.
Jack Wilshere's Luton Town will travel to AFC Fylde, and the winner of the postponed Plymouth Parkway versus Berkhamsted tie will take on Barnet at home.
The full list of 20 second-round fixtures includes Chesterfield versus Cheltenham Town, Guiseley versus Notts County, Exeter City versus Stevenage, York City versus Carlisle United, Crewe Alexandra versus Plymouth Argyle, Barrow versus Kidderminster Harriers, Colchester United versus Mansfield Town, Rochdale versus Newport County, Grimsby Town versus Oldham Athletic, Shrewsbury Town versus Burton Albion, Salisbury versus Blackpool, Rotherham United versus Bristol Rovers, Reading versus Stockport County, and Wycombe Wanderers versus MK Dons.
