MK Dons to host Swindon Town in FA Cup First Round

Tuesday, 20 October 2026 20:06

MK Dons will host Swindon Town in the First Round of the FA Cup.

The Dons will welcome the Robins to Stadium MK on the weekend around Saturday November 7, with the precise date, kick-off time, ticket info and details of TV coverage to be confirmed in due course.

Still managed by former QPR and Blackpool boss Ian Holloway, Swindon Town have made an inconsistent start in League Two so far this season, with the Robins currently sat 18th in the table after 11 matches of the campaign.

The match will see a further meeting between the Dons and the Robins, who have met on a frequent basis since the formation of MK Dons in 2004. This however will be their first meeting in the FA Cup.

The Dons and Robins faced each other in three contests last season, with MK Dons recording a 1-0 win on Boxing Day and a 2-1 triumph in Wiltshire in the two games in League Two. Swindon would win 4-0 in an EFL Trophy match at Stadium MK.

MK Dons reached the Third Round in the FA Cup last season, having beaten Colchester and Oldham before going out on penalties against Oxford.
