The 1927–28 FA Cup was the 53rd staging of the world's oldest football cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup. Blackburn Rovers won the competition for the sixth and (as of 2024) final time, beating Huddersfield Town 3–1 in the final at Wembley.

Matches were scheduled to be played at the stadium of the team named first on the date specified for each round, which was always a Saturday. Some matches, however, might be rescheduled for other days if there were clashes with games for other competitions or the weather was inclement. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played, a replay would take place at the stadium of the second-named team later the same week. If the replayed match was drawn further replays would be held until a winner was determined. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played in a replay, a 30-minute period of extra time would be played.

Qualifying rounds

Most participating clubs that were not members of the Football League entered the competition in the qualifying rounds. For this tournament, they were joined by Football League Third Division North side Barrow, who were entered in the fourth qualifying round after the FA reduced the size of the first round proper from 38 matches to 34.

The fourth qualifying round remained unchanged at 25 matches, and this season's winners were Stockton, Spennymoor United, Crook Town, Shildon, Workington (who defeated Barrow 3-1 at Lonsdale Park to gain their place in the main draw), Carlisle United, Rhyl, Oswestry Town, Denaby United, Gainsborough Trinity, Shirebrook, Peterborough & Fletton United, Wellington Town, Kettering Town, Southall, Botwell Mission, Clapton, Dartford, Ilford, Chatham, Dulwich Hamlet, London Caledonians, Aldershot, Poole and Bath City.

Those featuring at this stage for the first time were Spennymoor United, Denaby United, Shirebrook, Peterborough & Fletton United, Botwell Mission (who would change their name to Hayes midway through the following season), Dartford and Aldershot, while Oswestry Town had not appeared in the main competition since 1887-88.

Bath City also became the first club in the competition's history to progress from the extra preliminary round to the second round proper (although Hednesford Town and Thornycrofts (Woolston) had played more matches in reaching the first round proper in 1919-20). Bath defeated Melksham, Spencer Moulton, the team from the 5th Royal Tank Regiment, Swindon Corinthians, Welton Rovers, Lovell's Athletic and Southall before going out to London Caledonians. Spennymoor United progressed from the extra preliminary round to the main draw as well, but lost to Rotherham United in the first round proper.

First round proper

At this stage 40 clubs from the Football League Third Division North and South joined the 25 non-league clubs who came through the qualifying rounds. Millwall and Brentford were given byes to the third round while Torquay United did not enter the competition this season. To make the number of matches up, non-league sides Northfleet United, Aberdare Athletic and Leyton were given byes to this round, with Leyton having won the previous season's FA Amateur Cup and Aberdare Athletic having only recently been voted out of the Football League (in favour of Torquay).

34 matches were scheduled to be played on Saturday, 26 November 1927. Six matches were drawn and went to replays in the following midweek fixture.
