Round 1 - Week commencing 29th August

I'd hazard a guess the draw will be around the 13th August

Round 1 - 32 teams compete
16 clubs are awarded byes straight through to round 2 in an in-house pre-draw leaving the remaining 32 League 1 and 2 clubs to compete in round 1. Teams are drawn in couples within each section and games are played on a knock-out basis with the first drawn club playing at home.

Round 2 – 32 teams compete
The 16 clubs that were awarded byes straight through to round 2 play the 16 winners from round 1. Teams are drawn in couples within each section and games are played on a knock-out basis with the first drawn club playing at home.

The sections are now merged leaving just a Northern and Southern section.

Area Quarter Finals – 16 teams compete
There are 8 games in the Area Quarter Finals, 4 in the Northern section and 4 in the Southern section. Teams are drawn in couples within each section and games are played on a knock-out basis with the first drawn club playing at home.

Area Semi-Finals – 8 teams compete
There are 4 games in the Area Semi Finals, 2 in the Northern section and 2 in the Southern section. Teams are drawn in couples within each section and games are played on a knock-out basis with the first drawn club playing at home.

Area Finals – 4 teams compete over 2 legs
Drawing is no longer necessary for the final 4 teams as the two remaining teams in each section play each other over 2 legs - home and away. The first team to play at home is decided via a secret draw at The Football League Headquarters.

The FinalThe Final takes place between the winner of the Northern section and the winner of the Southern section at Wembley Stadium during March / April.
