The FA Trophy 2026 season is underway in England, a knockout competition featuring 85 teams from non-league football. The current campaign started on August 28, 2026 and runs through September 26, 2026 for the early rounds, with 46 events already completed. The FA Trophy table is shaped by results from each matchday, and the average goals per game sits at a lively 3.67.
FA Trophy Table
The FA Trophy table does not follow a traditional league format - it is a straight knockout tournament. Teams advance round by round, so there is no single league leader or relegation zone. Instead, results from the 46 finished events show which clubs are still in the hunt. Recent FA Trophy results include Alfreton Town beating Shifnal Town 2-1, Dartford winning 3-0 at Leiston, and Redcar Athletic edging Guisborough Town 1-0. Southall and Carshalton Athletic played out a 2-2 draw, showing how tight these FA Trophy fixtures can be.
Favorites & Title Chances
With a knockout cup, picking FA Trophy favorites is about recent form and the luck of the draw. Based on the early results and the 85-team field, no single club has a dominant probability. Dartford's strong 3-0 away win puts them among the teams to watch, with around a 15% chance to go all the way. Alfreton Town, with a solid 2-1 home result, sits near a 12% title chance. Redcar Athletic, already through and with an upcoming fixture against Ashton United on Oct 24, holds roughly a 10% probability. The wide-open nature of the FA Trophy means any of the remaining sides can make a run, and FA Trophy predictions will shift fast as the schedule unfolds.
Season Stats
The FA Trophy stats for 2026 highlight an attacking tournament. Across 46 finished events, the average goals per game is 3.67. Quorn FC's 4-2 win over Leamington and Wimborne Town's 3-1 victory at Moneyfields are prime examples of the high-scoring trend. Top scorers data is not yet consolidated for the full competition, but individual match results point to multiple players already making a mark. These FA Trophy stats feed directly into the odds and predictions for every upcoming matchday.
FA Trophy Match Predictions
FA Trophy predictions are built on a mix of recent results, team form, and betting odds.
