The Gulls can confirm our entry stages for the 2026/27 national cup competitions following The FA’s release of accepted clubs and exemptions for the new season.

Garry Kimble’s side will enter the Emirates FA Cup at the Preliminary Round stage, with our first tie scheduled to take place on Saturday 22nd August 2026. We will then join the Isuzu FA Trophy at the First Qualifying Round stage, with our opening fixture in the competition set for Saturday 29 August 2026.

The FA Cup continues to provide clubs across the football pyramid with the opportunity to create unforgettable moments, and everyone connected with the club will be hoping for another exciting journey in the world’s oldest national football competition.

The FA Trophy meanwhile offers another major opportunity for non-league sides, with Wembley once again the ultimate target as clubs battle through the rounds during the season.

With our entry points and opening dates now confirmed, attention will turn towards the upcoming draws and the beginning of another campaign full of anticipation and excitement.

Further details on opponents, fixture dates and draw information will be shared across our official channels as soon as they are announced.
