FA Cup Third Qualifying Round: Everything you need to know from draw date and time to teams

The draw for the 2025/26 FA Cup Third Qualifying Round is due on Monday following what we hope is another fantastic weekend of cup football with all the twists, turns and shocks the old Cup is famous for.

The standout tie in the Second Qualifying Round is arguably Bracknell Town vs Tadley Calleva with the Romans proving a bit of a curse for the sides they’ve faced this season. In the previous round, Tadley beat Bracknell’s Southern League Premier Division South rivals Weymouth live on BBC iPlayer with the Terras having sacked their manager in midweek.

It was confirmed this week Bracknell had ‘removed’ Jordan Ive from his role.

Elsewhere Maidenhead United’s relegation means the Magpies have a longer ride to the First Round Proper having featured in the last eight First Round Proper’s.

As it stands, Bracknell Town, Hungerford Town, Maidenhead United, Slough Town and Tadley Calleva are all ‘in the hat’ for the Third Qualifying Round draw.
