The FA Cup resumes in the first round proper this weekend with Football League and non-league clubs continuing their journey.

The first round is made up of the 48 teams in EFL League One and League Two, joined by the 32 winners from non-league football who progressed through the qualifying and preliminary rounds.

As such, for the first round proper it’s 40 fixtures in total, with just 20 fixtures in the second round to provide 20 lower-league or non-league clubs remaining in the FA Cup by the time we hit the New Year.

As a reminder, Championship and Premier League clubs enter at the third-round stage.
