The Fourth Round Draw

The 2026/27 Scottish Cup reaches its Fourth Round with ties spread across the weekend of Friday 2 October and Saturday 3 October 2026. Clubs involved at this stage include Albion Rovers, Auchinleck Talbot, Banks O'Dee, Berwick Rangers, Bonnyrigg Rose and Brora Rangers, drawn from across Scotland's lower and non-league divisions.

Each tie in this round is a single match, so there is no return leg and the winner on the day advances straight into the next stage of the competition.

Grounds Hosting the Fourth Round

This round is played at community and regional grounds rather than the country's larger stadiums, in keeping with the level of many clubs still involved at this stage. Venues in use this weekend include Newtown Park in Bo'ness, the Chilton Flooring Arena in Kilmarnock, Grant Street Park in Inverness, Central Park in Cowdenbeath and Millfield Park in Haddington.

Other grounds associated with clubs in this year's competition include Keirs Park in Hill of Beath, Prestonfield in Linlithgow, the Olivebank Arena in Musselburgh, Station Park in Nairn, Montgomery Park in Penicuik, Foresters Park in Tranent and the Carnegie Fuels Stadium at Glebe Park in Brechin.

How the Knockout Progresses

Scottish Cup runs as a straight knockout from this round through to the final, with each tie decided over a single match. Once the Fourth Round is complete, the competition moves into rounds with their own dedicated pages: Fifth Round, Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals, ahead of the final itself.

Clubs going through the Fourth Round join a narrowing bracket that eventually produces the two sides who meet in the final, with pairings for later rounds confirmed once each stage of the draw is complete.

Following a Non-League Cup Run

For clubs outside Scotland's top divisions, the Fourth Round represents a chance to extend a cup run against opposition from a higher level, with a place in the Fifth Round the reward for a win over a single match. Fans of clubs still involved at this stage can follow how the bracket narrows as further rounds are confirmed.

Comparing Prices for the Fourth Round

Prices for this round can be compared across StubHub, Viagogo, Hellotickets, Football Ticket Net, Gigsberg and SportsEvents365, so fans can see how listings for a given tie stack up before choosing where to buy. With ties spread across a Friday evening and a full Saturday programme, there is scope to plan around more than one fixture if grounds are within reasonable travelling distance.

Sixty clubs are listed as involved in this season's Scottish Cup, and the Fourth Round is one of several stages that narrow that field down before the competition reaches its later, more widely followed rounds.

Seats for lower-round Scottish Cup ties are generally easier to find than for the competition's later stages, given the smaller grounds and more localised support involved at this point in the tournament.
