The draw for the first round proper will take place on Sunday and winning clubs and those who face replays from this weekend’s final qualifying round will join clubs from the League One and Two in the hat for the draw.

Fans can watch the draw live in the UK on ITV1 from 2.30pm.

The first round proper will be held between Friday, November 3, and Monday 6, with winning clubs at that stage picking up just over £40,000 from the competition's prize fund. And there’s more money to come for those teams whose ties are picked for live TV coverage.
