Jock Mackay and Football Times Cup draws made

---

The draws for the 2025-26 Jock Mackay Cup and Football Times Cup were made this evening at a meeting of the North Caledonian FA management committee, confirming the first knockout fixtures of the new campaign.

Making a welcome return to the calendar, the Jock Mackay Cup reappears on the competition schedule for the first time since the pandemic. Last played in 2018-19, the cup had become a popular fixture in the North Caledonian season before its extended absence. Its reintroduction this year gives clubs another opportunity to compete for silverware, with a four-round format beginning at the first round stage.

The North Caledonian Cup shall be drawn later in the campaign. League fixtures for the 2025-26 season are expected to be released late next week.
