Eligibility

Places for the FA Cup were capped at 732 to match the number of clubs in the top 9 tiers of English football, meaning 640 places were available in the qualifying competition.^[1] Clubs from the 10th tier were accepted only where there was a shortage of teams due to higher ranked teams not applying or being ineligible for entry. This left seven places, which were awarded to the applicants from the 10th tier that had finished 2022–23 with the highest points per game, but that had not been promoted.^[1]
