National League side Oxford City are preparing to host 2021 FA Cup winners Leicester City in the first round of the competition on Friday. The match offers the non-league club a rare opportunity to test themselves against Premier League opposition.
Oxford City, who compete in the fifth tier of English football, have spoken of enjoying the limelight as they welcome the Foxes to their ground. Leicester, who lifted the trophy in 2021, will be strong favorites but cup upsets are a hallmark of the tournament.
The fixture is scheduled for Friday, November 6, 2026, and will be broadcast live. Both sets of fans are anticipating a memorable occasion for the lower-league outfit.
