Football tournament season
2022β23 FA Cup qualifying rounds Country England Wales Teams 640
The 2022β23 FA Cup qualifying rounds opened the
142nd edition of the
FA Cup , the world's oldest
association football single
knockout competition, organised by
The Football Association , the governing body for the sport in England. 640 teams in the 5th to 10th tier of
English football competed across six rounds for 32 spots in the
First round proper .
Eligibility
Applications to enter qualifying opened on 25 February 2022 and closed on 1 April 2022.
[1] The entry list, round exemptions and scheduling was confirmed on 1 July 2022.
[2]
[3] 640 teams from Level 5 to Level 9 of the
English football league system (otherwise known as Steps 1 to 5 of the
National League System ) were eligible to compete.
[3]
In previous years Level 10 clubs were a prominent feature in the competition but since
2021β22 The FA has cut off their automatic eligibility.
[4] This was the result of the
National League System being reformed to what the FA described as a "perfect 1β2β4β8β16 divisional model".
[5] A first phase was implemented in 2018/19 before a final stage saw over 100 clubs effectively promoted in 2021β22.
[5]
[6] This meant more teams now competed between Level 5 to 9 which consequently for the FA Cup saw Level 10 clubs dropped to a "subject to availability" basis instead.
[4] In the event that others do not enter, vacancies are filled by 10th tier applicants ranked by
PPG in the previous league season.
[1]
For the
2022β23 edition, 11 vacancies were filled by 10th tier clubs;
Abbey Hey ,
Andover New Street ,
Brixham ,
Folland Sports ,
Hinckley ,
Liskeard Athletic ,
New Mills ,
Newport (IOW) ,
Radford ,
Warminster Town , and
Wincanton Town .
[2]
Vacancies are created when eligible teams from Level 5 to 9 decide against entering or have their application rejected.
[3] For 2022β23, there were 11 such clubs:

Buckhurst Hill ,

[11]
Format
The qualifying competition was a
single-elimination tournament consisting of six rounds and 640 teams.
[3] 32 winners in the final round were awarded a place in the
main competition beginning in November. Teams entered at different stages depending on their position in the
English pyramid .
[3] All 9th and 10th tier teams began in the opening, Extra-Preliminary round and had to win six matches to qualify.
[3] All 8th tier teams were ranked on last season's
PPG , except newly promoted teams automatically ranked towards the bottom and newly relegated teams ranked towards the top; Then the 95 lowest ranked teams entered at the Extra-Preliminary round and the 64 highest ranked teams entered at the preliminary round.
[3]
[12] Teams entering at the preliminary round had to win five matches to qualify. All 7th tier teams entered at the 1st qualifying round and had to win 4 matches to qualify.
[12] 6th tier teams entered at the 2nd qualifying round and had to win three matches to qualify.
[12] 5th tier teams entered at the final, 4th qualifying round and had to win one match to qualify.
[12]
Matches ending in a tie were replayed once and thereafter decided by extra time and penalties if the scores remained level.
[3] Ties were played on a geographical basis, starting with 10 regionalised pots in the Extra-Preliminary and preliminary rounds, and gradually reducing further into the draw.
[13]
[14] Whilst the division of the
English football league system correlated closer to club density, the FA Cup grouped teams based more on travel distance. Therefore, pots could consist of an unequal number of teams.
[13]
[14]
The extra preliminary and preliminary rounds were drawn on 8 July 2022.
[10] Teams were drawn into 10 regionalised groups loosely based on travel distance. More club-dense regions drew bigger pot sizes; One contained 86 teams loosely correlated to the
Combined Counties North and
South , the
Southern Combination , and the
Southern Counties East Level 9 Divisions. Regions with fewer clubs drew smaller pot sizes combining fewer divisions; One pot contained just 20 teams loosely correlating to the
Western League Level 9 division.
[13]
416 teams entered at this round; 310 from Level 9 (plus ten Level 10 replacements) and the 95 lowest ranked clubs from Level 8 (plus a Level 10 replacement for Guernsey).
[10] A team at this stage must win six matches should it qualify as one of the 32 non-league clubs in the FA Cup proper; as many victories as it takes a
Premier League or
Championship side to win the whole competition.
