2024–25 FA Cup qualifying rounds

Eligibility

The qualifying rounds are the point of entry into the FA Cup for all "non-League" teams—teams below the top four tiers of English football, and therefore outside the English Football League (EFL). These teams compete in leagues below the EFL which constitute the National League System. The number of teams entered in the FA Cup overall rose from 732 in 2023-24 to 745 the following season due to an increase in the number of teams in the 9th tier.^[1] Because of this increase, teams from 10th tier were no longer accepted into the competition, so the 2024-25 qualifying rounds encompassed all teams that entered from the 5th to 9th tiers—steps 1 to 5 of the National League System.

Notes

1. (9) represents teams allocated to divisions at the 9th tier of English football (otherwise known as Step 5 of the National League System). (8) represents the 8th tier (Step 4 NLS).
2. The match was abandoned during the second half due to persistent issues with the floodlights (the score was 0–0 when the match was abandoned).
3. The match had to be replayed due to a county FA admin error which led to the initial 3–0 win for Newport Pagnell Town to become void, causing a second replay to be scheduled.

Preliminary round

The draw for the preliminary round was made on 5 July 2024, following the draw for the extra preliminary round.^[4] This round saw the remaining teams from Tier 8 enter the competition.
