Weston-super-Mare AFC are preparing to return to FA Cup action, hoping to repeat their heroics of last season.

In 2025-26, the club reached round three and took League Two side Grimsby Town to extra time before eventually falling short.

Weston enter the competition at the second qualifying round stage and have been drawn at home to Wimborne Town from Southern League Premier South, which mirrors last season when they started their FA Cup campaign with a trip to Taunton Town.

The Seagulls go into the game on the back of successive wins over AFC Totton and Dagenham and Redbridge at home in the league.

Their opponents currently sit 14th in Southern League Premier South, having been undefeated in four games after losing their opening two fixtures.

Last time out they beat Bracknell Town 2-0.

Wimborne Town needed a replay to defeat North Somerset side Portishead Town in the last round.
