U’S BALL NUMBER 8 IN FA CUP FIRST ROUND DRAW

The Emirates FA Cup first round draw will be broadcast live on BBC Two from 7.10pm on Monday 21 October, with ball number 8 the one to keep an eye out for Cambridge United fans..

The draw will be conducted by Karen Carney and Jermaine Beckford and will take place at the home ground of either Royston Town or Maldon & Tiptree, depending on which side is victorious on Saturday afternoon.

The 32 non-League clubs that progress from this weekend’s fourth round qualifying ties will be joined by 47 clubs from Leagues One and Two.

Due to Bury FC’s removal from the English Football League and subsequently the Emirates FA Cup, there will be an odd number of clubs entering the draw. As a result, the final club left in the draw, that isn’t drawn to play in a tie in the first round, will receive an automatic bye to the second round and will also receive the prize fund payment applicable for the first round.

The first round is scheduled for the weekend of Saturday 9 November with winning clubs collecting £36,000 from The FA prize fund.
