Norton & Stockton Ancients Await Leeds or Rotherham in Second Round of 2026-27 Women’s FA Cup

Norton & Stockton Ancients will visit Leeds United or Rotherham United in the second round of the 2026-27 Women’s FA Cup.

Bianca Owens’ second-half brace saw the Ancients eliminate AFC Fylde 2-0 at the Norton Sports Complex to book their spot in the second round, where they now face an away trip to the winner of Leeds’ postponed first-round tie against Rotherham.

Thornaby meanwhile will play host Crewe Alexandra, whilst Durham Cestria could meet Middlesbrough in a North-East derby if Boro defeat Huddersfield in their rearranged first-round tie.

Across in the southern section, Barking’s reward for a 2-0 first-round victory over Bromley is a home tie against Cambridge United

Two-time winners, Fulham face a trip to Real Bedford in a potential banana skin clash between the third-tier rivals.

Second Round ties are scheduled to be played on the weekend of 14-15 November 2026, with the winners advancing to the third round where a tie against Women’s Super League 2 opposition could await them on 12-13 December.
