When will the semi-finals take place?

The Isuzu FA Trophy semi-finals are scheduled for Saturday, 28th March 2026.

The ties will decide who books their place at Wembley, with the competition now down to its final four.

Who is in the semi-finals?

Southport continue their impressive cup run after defeating Yeovil Town over a penalty shootout at the weekend and will now face another National League outfit in Southend United at Haig Avenue.

The Shrimpers have navigated potential banana skins in previous rounds, including a 2-1 win over Horsham in the quarter-final tie on Saturday, and will be aiming to secure a return to Wembley after last year’s play-off heartache.

In the other tie, Wealdstone hosts Marine. Bobby Grant’s men defeated Woking to reach this stage as the Stones denied Kidderminster Harriers on penalties to make the semi-finals.

The Lilywhites have already produced memorable moments in this season’s competition and will look to extend their run against another higher-tier opposition.

Wealdstone are now just one victory away from a shot at lifting the trophy once again after their success in the 1984-85 campaign.

What is the prize fund at this stage?

Victory in the semi-finals will earn the winners £15,000, while the defeated sides will still receive £5,000.

At this level of the game, those sums can make a significant difference, providing a welcome boost to budgets as clubs continue balancing rising costs with limited revenue streams.
