The FA Cup second qualifying round replay takes place at Truro City Stadium after Merthyr Town and Truro City drew 1-1 on September 19. The tie must be decided after 90 minutes, extra time or penalties if required. Truro have just returned to the National League South after finishing 24th in the 2025/26 National League and suffering relegation. This season, they have started with four wins, two draws and two defeats from eight matches, scoring 11 and conceding only four league goals.
