We can confirm that following tonight’s Emirates FA Cup Third Round draw, made live on TNT Sports, that the Mariners will host National League South side, Weston-super-Mare AFC in the Third Round of the Emirates FA Cup. 

The Mariners booked their place in the Third Round last weekend, following a comprehensive 4-0 victory over National League side Wealdstone, thanks to goals from Jaze Kabia, Jamie Walker and Kieran Green.

Town will now host the Seagulls for the first time since our FA Trophy meeting back in January 2016, with Town running out 3-1 victors on that day.

The Third Round Proper is due to be played around the weekend of Saturday 10 January 2026, with full details to be announced in due course.

We look forward to welcoming the supporters, staff and players of Weston-super-Mare to Blundell Park in the new year.
