Jersey Bulls Women and Guernsey FC Women will play in the FA Cup this season for the first time!

Jersey Bulls Women only played their first competitive fixture last year, going on to win every game in South East Counties Women's Football League Surrey Division One to secure the league title and promotion.

Guernsey FC Women finished 7th in the Southern Region Women's Football League Division One South, with three wins in their last four to end the campaign.

Both sides will now debut in the Women's FA Cup in the 2026-27 season, with the preliminary round taking place on Sunday 23 August.

534 clubs are taking part in this year's competition.

Last season's FA Women's Cup was won by Manchester City.
