The FA Cup 1970β71 is the 90th season of the world's oldest
football knockout competition; The Football Association Challenge Cup, or
FA Cup for short. The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down the
English football league system meant that the competition started with a number of preliminary and qualifying rounds. The 28 victorious teams from the fourth round qualifying progressed to the first round proper.
