The Football Association have released the dates for their competitions, including the Emirates FA Cup and Isuzu FA Trophy, which AFC Fylde will compete in.

The Coasters will enter the Emirates FA Cup at the fourth qualifying round, and the Isuzu FA Trophy in the third round proper.

Fylde have enjoyed some memorable moments in both competitions in recent seasons – reaching the Emirates FA Cup third-round proper in 2019/20 season, narrowly losing away to then-Premier League club Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

The Coasters won the Isuzu FA Trophy with a historic 1-0 triumph over Leyton Orient at Wembley in May 2019 – which saw Fylde become the first Club to win the FA Trophy and FA Vase.
