How FA Cup Draws Work

The FA Cup draw is a straightforward process that determines which teams face each other in each round:

• Teams are drawn from separate pots based on their league level
• Teams from the same league cannot face each other until the third round proper
• The first team drawn out plays at home
• Draws are typically made live on television or streamed online
• Numbered balls are used to ensure fair random selection
