West Ham's FA Cup Opponent Drawn

Submitted by Louis Nixon on Mon, 16/02/2026 - 18:58

West Ham made it to the fifth round in the FA Cup for the first time since the 2023/23 season, which would be the final round of the campaign that season after the club lost 3-1 to Manchester United.

After two favourable draws against QPR and Burton, both of which the Hammers went to extra time for, the draw for the Fifth Round has confirmed that West Ham will play Macclesfield or Brentford at the London Stadium.

The decision of who Nuno’s side will face shall be determined by the result tonight as Macclesfield host the Bees at 19:30 UK Time.

West Ham United haven’t made it to the FA Cup Quarter Final since the 2015/16 season, which was the final FA campaign at the Boleyn Ground and that too saw the Irons knocked out by Manchester United… Fortunately for Nuno, they’ve already been knocked out of this year’s competitions.

The fixture at the London Stadium is expected to take place between the 7th and 8th of March.

Fulham vs Southampton
Port Vale or Bristol City vs Sunderland
