Cray Wanderers face a potential London derby in the fourth qualifying round of the 2026-27 FA Cup.
Tim O’Shea’s seventh-tier Wands beat Chippenham Town 3-0 to book their place in the fourth qualifying round for only the fourth time in their history, and now face a potential London derby away to Wingate and Finchley if the latter beat Bedford Town in their third qualifying round replay.
Should Cray Wanderers indeed go on to win the tie against either team then the Chislehurst-based club will advance to the first round proper for the very first time in their history.
Barrow and Harrogate enter at this round for the first time since the 2019-20 season after they were relegated from the EFL at the end of last season, with Barrow drawn at home to Gloucester City whilst Harrogate will visit Bury.
Ninth-tier Tadley Calleva and SE Dons have both been drawn away in this round as Calleva head to fifth-tier Aldershot, whilst SE Dons visit seventh-tier Sholing.
Eighth-tier AFC Rushden & Diamonds will entertain Morecambe at Hayden Road as they chase a first appearance in the first-round proper stage.
Ties will be played on the weekend of 17-18 October 2026, with the first round proper draw provisionally expected to take place on Monday 19 October.
