Guernsey FC and Jersey Bulls have both been drawn to play at home in their opening matches for the 2026-27 FA Cup. Guernsey FC will host Isthmian League South East Division side Crowborough Athletic in the extra preliminary round, scheduled for Saturday 8 August. If they win, the team will travel to Epsom and Ewell or Chipstead two weeks later in the preliminary round. Meanwhile, Jersey Bulls, who play in a division higher than Guernsey FC, have received a bye in the preliminary round and will host Crawley Down Gatwick or Sheerwater at Springfield on 22 August. In the FA Trophy, the Bulls will face Isthmian League South Central rivals Hayes and Yeading United at home on August 15 in the preliminary round. Guernsey, meanwhile, travel to Southern Combination Premier rivals Newhaven in the first qualifying round on August 15. It is the second consecutive season that both Channel Islands clubs have participated in the tournament. Guernsey were kicked out of the FA Cup last season after fielding an ineligible player due to an administrative error, following a 1-1 draw with Bedfont Sports in the extra preliminary round. In the last edition, Jersey Bulls reached the second qualifying round of the FA Cup, where they were eliminated by the eventual champions of the National League South, Worthing, in a replay after a 2-2 draw at Springfield.
