The FA Cup third qualifying round draw is scheduled for Monday, September 21 at 1pm, with non-league clubs learning their next opponents shortly after the second qualifying round concludes on Saturday, September 19.

The second qualifying round fixtures, taking place primarily on September 19, will determine which sides earn a place in the hat. Those matches feature numerous non-league clubs competing in the world’s oldest national football competition.

There will be no live television broadcast of the draw. The full list of fixtures will be published on the official FA website once the draw is complete.

Financial stakes are meaningful for the clubs involved at this stage. Teams that win their third qualifying round tie will receive £5,625 from the FA’s prize fund, while losing sides will collect £1,875 — sums that can make a significant difference to non-league budgets.

The third qualifying round fixtures themselves are scheduled for Saturday, October 3, giving clubs roughly two weeks to prepare after the draw.
