The Isuzu FA Trophy quarter-finals are scheduled for Saturday, 28th February 2026, giving the remaining eight sides a shot at the semi-finals and the coveted trip to Wembley.

What is the prize fund at this stage?

What are some of the standout ties?

In a remarkable turn of events, all eight away sides emerged victorious in the fifth round.

With this in mind, the National League hopefuls will head into the next round in high spirits, as each side has been drawn away from home.

After stunning Scunthorpe United, Horsham now host Southend in the quarter-finals.

The Shrimpers avoided a potential banana skin and a repeat of last season’s disappointment, when they fell at the fifth-round stage to Sittingbourne, to defeat Chatham 1-0.

Kevin Maher’s side will have to fend off another potential upset when they travel to Hop Oast Stadium in the next round.

Marine’s penalty shootout heroics have been rewarded as they will prepare to face another fifth-tier outfit, this time back at Rossett Park.

This time, Woking awaits them in the quarter finals and Kidderminster Harriers will also be at home, after they defeated FC Halifax Town on penalties, to face Wealdstone.

The final tie sees Southport take on Yeovil Town.
