The 1886–87 Football Association Challenge Cup was the 16th FA Cup, England's oldest football tournament. One hundred and twenty-eight teams entered, two fewer than the previous season, in addition to four of the one hundred and twenty-eight never playing a match.

Rejected entries

The Football Association rejected entries from the following clubs for being received too late:

  • Aston Shakespeare
  • Bury
  • Eckington Works
  • Hurst
  • Lancing Old Boys
  • Romford
  • Sheffield Wednesday
  • Stafford Rangers
  • Stafford Road
  • Walsall Swifts
  • Wellington Town

One consequence of this was that a number of Sheffield Wednesday players registered to play with Lockwood Brothers instead, resulting in the works side's best FA Cup run.

[*] The Cannon side (from Tottenham) had entered the competition without being registered with the Football Association, so was ineligible to play

[**] Newton Heath turned up for the match with several ineligible players, and so scratched before the game; the sides played a friendly, which ended 2-2.

[***] Due to a number of their first-team being ineligible to play, Everton scratched to Rangers and played a friendly match instead, with Rangers winning 1-0
