Salisbury Discover First Round FA Opponents

Monday, 19 October 2026 14:25

Salisbury have learned who they will face in the first round of the FA Cup following the draw.

Salisbury have been given a home tie against Sholing, with the game to be played during the weekend of Saturday 7th November.

This is the furthest the club has gone in the competition since reforming in 2015.

To reach this stage, they have overcome Taunton Town (4-1), Dulwich Hamlet (5-0), and most recently, Eastbourne Borough (3-0) in the Fourth Qualifying Round on Saturday afternoon.

The competition has netted Salisbury £18,375 so far, with at least another £15,800 in prize money still to come. However, if they win their first-round match, they would collect £47,750.

There are no longer replays in the FA Cup from the first round onwards, so the game would go straight to extra time and then penalties if the match is tied.
