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 and will make the trip to League One Barnsley should they progress.

Meanwhile highest-ranked team Bradford City will welcome National League North side Marine as the League One leaders enter the competition.

Eighth-tier AFC Rushden & Diamonds 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.
