AFC Bournemouth host Manchester City in the standout tie of the fourth-round draw in 2025-26 Women’s FA Cup.

Third-tier Bournemouth are in the fourth round for the first time in their history but will face a tricky home tie against Manchester City, as the Cityzens currently sit top of the Women’s Super League.

Reigning champions, Chelsea will begin their title defence at home to Crystal Palace in a London derby at Kingsmeadow.

Last season’s runner-up, Manchester United will entertain Burnley in a North-West derby at Leigh Sports Village.

14-time winners, Arsenal will begin their campaign for a 15th title at home to fellow WSL opposition, Aston Villa at Meadow Park.

Two-time winners, Everton face a tricky visit to third-tier West Bromwich Albion.

Lowest-ranked team, York City head to Chatham in a tie which guarantees at least one fourth-tier team advancing to the fifth round.

Ties will be played on the weekend of 17-18 January 2026 with at least two fixtures selected for live broadcast in the UK.
