637 teams were accepted into the qualification, a slight decline on the 644 which had been the fixed number since 2014–15 FA Cup qualifying rounds. This reflected the restructuring of the National League System, and a new policy of capping FA Cup places to match the number of clubs at levels 5-10 (steps 1–6).[1] There were 8 places available for level 10 clubs, which were allocated by a random draw among the strongest teams from each of the 17 level 10 leagues
