Leicester City, the 2021 FA Cup winners, have been drawn away to National League North side Oxford City in the 2026-27 FA Cup first round. It is the Foxes' first appearance at this stage since 2008, and they face sixth-tier opposition for a place in the second round. The club were relegated to League One this season, and manager Russell Martin's side are currently 14th after an inconsistent start.
Elsewhere, there is a family affair as Peterborough United face Reading. 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 total of 91 teams were named in the draw, with four sides reaching the first round proper for the first time.
Lowest-ranked Tadley Calleva came from behind twice to force a replay with Aldershot and will travel to League One Barnsley should they progress. Highest-ranked Bradford City will host National League North side Marine as the League One leaders enter the competition. Eighth-tier AFC Rushden & Diamonds, who have won five games in the competition this season, were rewarded with a trip to League One side Burton Albion.
Other notable ties include Huddersfield Town against Exeter City, Oldham Athletic against Sheffield Wednesday, and Bristol Rovers against Cambridge United.
