The Bluebirds have been drawn to face Ammanford in Round One of the Nathaniel MG Cup.
City will travel to face the Cymru South side on Saturday, July 19th - KO at 2:30pm.
Ticket details for this fixture will become available in due course.
After entering the competition as a wildcard again for the 2025/26 campaign, Academy Manager Gavin Chesterfield said: "It's extremely valuable. What we're aiming to do is to prepare players for a senior environment. When the time is right, that may include a loan or experience with the First Team. The Nathaniel MG Cup has provided us with exposure to real-life scenarios with jeopardy on the result as a knockout game.
"We were grateful for the experiences that the boys went through last year and to lose in the Semi-Finals on penalties, it was a part of their learning curves in their journeys.
"All the clubs in the competition are part of the Welsh football ecosystem. For us as Cardiff City Football Club, I think it's a really important part of our responsibility to connect with those local clubs."
