So, here we are, it’s time for the eagerly anticipated full FA Cup First Round draw live, and you can follow what happens via our live blog.
A total of thirty-two non league sides have made it through qualifying and will join forty-eight English Football League clubs from League One and League Two in the draw.
The First Round Proper ties are to played across the weekend of Saturday the 7th of November, with Premier League and EFL Championship sides joining the competition from the Third Round as they would usually do.
To fit into a busy schedule for the 2020/21 season, replays have been removed from the competition. The prize fund has also been reduced, with figures returning to those last used in the 2017/18 FA Cup.
Don’t forget, the winner qualifies for the 2021/22 UEFA Europa League group stage.

There were astonishingly nine upsets in the FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round with the biggest coming at National League outfit Maidenhead, losing 3-2 in a thrilling encounter to Isthmian League South East Division side Cray Valley Paper Mills (PM).
Manny Parry and Dan Sparkes put the hosts 2-0 up after half an hour into the tie, however, Cray’s Ade Yusuff got one back shortly after, and then on the stroke of half time, Connor Dymond made it 2-2, heading into the net from a corner.
It was looking set to go to penalties, however Francis Babalola popped up in injury time to send Cray into the First Round Proper. Incredible achievement.
