The 2024-25 Emirates FA Cup first round draw will take place at the University of Bradford Stadium
The 2024-25 Emirates FA Cup’s first round proper draw will take place at Bradford City’s University of Bradford Stadium on Monday 14 October.
The draw will be broadcast on BBC Two from 7pm that evening, and the city of Bradford has been selected for its historical links to the competition.
Ties in the first round will be played between Friday 1 November 2024 and Monday 4 November 2024.
The iconic look of the competition’s current trophy was first designed and manufactured by Bradford jewellers Fattorini and Sons, with the original version competed for between 1911 and 1993.
That piece of silverware was made in time for the 1911 Final, which Bradford City coincidentally won by defeating Newcastle United 1-0 after a replay, and this remains the club’s only major honour.
48 EFL clubs from League One and League Two including Bradford City will enter the competition at the first round proper stage, and join the 32 non-League teams remaining from the qualifying rounds.
Bradford has also been selected as the 2025 UK City of Culture, and today marks 100 days until it officially takes up this designation.

Guess it is not regionalised

[Chris Black come back]

Obviously, it will be away at Oldham Athletic.

[Alan Southstand]

Trip to Scarborough?

[Campsall rover]

Obviously, it will be away at Oldham Athletic.

Overdue for that one.

[Campsall rover]

I would like York City at home.

[Silkscarf]

I’ll be at the ground watching England U20 when this is on. One eye on phone, one on pitch.

[StocksArmy]

Chesterfield at home. The other week is still haunting me and I don’t want to wait for February to give a proper account of ourselves.

[Silkscarf]

I’d like a non-League banana skin away. Proper FA Cup tie.

[Padge_DRFC]

Easiest team at home both rounds.

[vaya]

I’ll be at the ground watching England U20 when this is on. One eye on phone, one on pitch.

Like Marty Feldman?

[Campsall rover]

The good news is Kings Lynn have got knocked out today.

[roversdude]

Unfortunately Oldham won - would love Scarborough

[normal rules]

Gainsborough, if they can beat Boston.

Boston away if they can't.

The away allocation at Bostons new ground is tiny. They still only have three sides.

[Jimmydee]

Scarborough away, but it’s only a small ground 3,251 capacity and it’s artificial turf.

[moses]

Rushall Olympic away.

[TonySoprano]

Halifax
Scarborough
York
Curzon ashton
Gainsborough
Taunton
Weymouth
Weston-super-Mare
Bath
Plymouth parkway
Boston

All away of course. I would like any of those

[roversdude]

Halifax were knocked out by Oldham 4-2

[roversdude]

Just seen that the York chairman has given Biggleswade York’s share of gate receipts. Looks like they finally have a decent owner

[TonySoprano]

Halifax were knocked out by Oldham 4-2

Oh, missed that. I was just going off the OP

[drfchound]

Barrow away.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Put the ball back in!

[Chris Black come back]

Poor draw all round.
