The 2020–21 FA Cup is the 140th edition of the oldest football tournament in the world, the Football Association Challenge Cup. It is sponsored by Emirates and known as the Emirates FA Cup for sponsorship purposes. The winner qualifies for the 2021–22 UEFA Europa League group stage.

Premier League side Arsenal were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the fourth round by Southampton.

Teams

The FA Cup[2] is a knockout competition with 124 teams taking part all trying to reach the Final at Wembley in May 2021. The competition consists of the 92 teams from the Football League system (20 teams from the Premier League and the 72 in total from the EFL Championship, EFL League One and EFL League Two) plus the 32 surviving teams out of 644 teams from the National League System (levels 5–10 of the English football league system) that started the competition in qualifying rounds.

All rounds are drawn randomly usually either at the completion of the previous round or on the evening of the last televised game of a round being played depending on television broadcasting rights.

This year's competition is subject to changes to the rules and round dates at short notice to follow the latest national and local government guidelines regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.

Delay and scheduling

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, the previous season's competition was delayed, with the final played roughly three months late, on 1 August 2020.[4] In a normal year, the FA Cup would start in early August, but with the previous season finishing late, the start of the 2020–21 FA Cup was also delayed to 31 August 2020.[5][6]

Contrary to initial speculation that the 2020–21 FA Cup would be reduced in size,[7] on 25 July 2020, the FA confirmed that lower league teams would be able to compete in the competition, with 737 teams accepted (out of 889 entrants), actually representing an increase of two teams on the previous season.[8][9] Following the liquidation of Macclesfield Town, 736 teams ultimately entered the competition.

All eligible teams at step 5 of the National League System (and above) were accepted into the competition, with the remaining places given to clubs at step 6. In previous seasons step 6 clubs have been given access to the Extra Preliminary Round based on their league position, but due to the cancellation of these leagues in 2019–20, the places for these teams was allocated by a random draw instead.[9]

Round and draw dates

Planned dates for the early qualifying rounds were released to clubs in the National League System in late July,[5][10] and confirmed by the FA on 3 August 2020.[2] With replays removed from all rounds, some qualifying rounds were scheduled for Tuesdays rather than the usual Saturday.[2]

Rules changes

To fit into a truncated schedule for the 2020–21 season, replays were removed entirely from the competition.[2] The prize fund has been reduced, with figures returning to those last used in the 2017–18 FA Cup.[2] While restrictions on fans attending games in person are in place, the usual prize money awarded to the winners for each round will be split 75% to 25% with the losers.[3][11]

Qualifying rounds

Teams that are not members of either the Premier League or English Football League competed in the qualifying rounds to secure one of 32 available places in the First Round Proper. The qualifying competition began with the Extra Preliminary Round on 31 August 2020.[5]

First Round Proper

The draw for the First Round Proper was held on 26 October 2020. The 31 winners from the fourth qualifying round joined the clubs from League One and League Two and bye recipients Chorley in 40 ties played over the weekend of 7 November.[12] This round included one team from level 9, Skelmersdale United, the lowest ranked team left in the competition. Chesterfield were originally drawn to play at Rochdale in this round. However, due to Chesterfield fielding an ineligible player during their Fourth Qualifying Round match[13] against Stockport County, the match was replayed and ultimately won by Stockport County.[14]
