Confirmed: FA Cup First Round Fixtures

Written by Jamie Tarrant — Chief Editor ·

The draw for the Emirates FA Cup First Round Proper has produced some fascinating ties, with non-league clubs handed opportunities to test themselves against Football League opposition.

One of the standout ties sees Oxford City travel to Leicester City, while AFC Rushden & Diamonds, who have reached the First Round Proper for the first time, face a trip to League One side Burton Albion.

Fellow first-time qualifiers Berkhamsted will travel to Plymouth Parkway in an all-non-league encounter, guaranteeing one of the two clubs a place in the Second Round Proper.

Sholing, another club celebrating their first appearance at this stage, will make the trip to Salisbury, while Harborough Town face a difficult away tie against Leyton Orient.

Hornchurch have been rewarded with a home fixture against Blackpool, while Kidderminster Harriers will welcome Doncaster Rovers and Wimborne Town host Crawley Town.

There could also be a huge occasion for Tadley Calleva if they overcome Aldershot Town in their replay, with the winners travelling to Barnsley. Chesham United could face Luton Town if they defeat Forest Green Rovers, while Anstey Nomads would visit Mansfield Town if they get past Macclesfield.

Elsewhere, Oldham Athletic host Sheffield Wednesday, Boreham Wood welcome Wigan Athletic, and Bradford City face Marine.

Several all-non-league ties also feature in the draw, including Dover Athletic against Wealdstone and Guiseley against Sutton United, ensuring further representation from outside the Football League in the next round.

First round ties will be played over the weekend of Saturday 7 November.
