Chelsea got the right to enter the 2020–21 FA Cup in the Third Round Proper along with the other Premier League and Championship clubs. The third round draw was made on 30th November, and Chelsea were drawn against League Two side Morecambe.[111] The draw for the fourth and fifth round were made on 11 January, conducted by Peter Crouch.[112] In the fourth round, Chelsea overcame Championship club Luton Town by a score of 3–1, with Tammy Abraham scoring all three goals for his side. In doing so, Abraham became the first Englishman to a score a hat-trick for Chelsea in the FA Cup since manager Frank Lampard in 2007, and he became the first Chelsea youth team product to score 10 or more goals in back-to-back seasons since Mike Fillery in 1982–83.[113] The match against Luton Town was Lampard's last in charge as he was sacked the following day.[2]

The draw for both the second and third round were confirmed on September 6, live on Sky Sports by Phil Babb.[114] In the third round, Chelsea were drawn at home against Championship side Barnsley. Tammy Abraham opened the scoring in the 19th minute, slotting past former Blues keeper Brad Collins. New signing, Kai Havertz, then latched on to Mason Mount's pass after a clever Abraham dummy and slid left-footed effort into the bottom corner to open his Chelsea account.[115] Ross Barkley made it three after the break before Abraham's neat flick teed Havertz up for a simple finish inside the area. Abraham then found Havertz for his hat-trick goal in the 65th minute and Olivier Giroud finished the scoring to make it 6–0 with seven minutes to go.[115]

The fourth round draw was conducted on 17 September 2020 by Laura Woods and Lee Hendrie live on Sky Sports; Chelsea were handed an away game against Tottenham Hotspur, led by former manager José Mourinho.[116] Chelsea went in front against Spurs with new signing Timo Werner netting his first goal for the club in the 19th minute.[117] However, Erik Lamela would equalize for Tottenham with six minutes to go and the hosts would go on to win in the penalty shoot-out after a solitary miss from Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.[118]
