Darlington will learn their opponents for the FA Cup first round this weekend. The draw will be broadcast on BBC 1 at approximately 5.10pm. This is the stage at which the forty-eight Football League clubs from Leagues One and Two enter the competition.

They will be joined by the thirty-two surviving non-League teams who will have played their fourth qualifying round fixtures on Saturday afternoon. Winners of the first round will pick up £16,000 whilst a win in the second round gives clubs £24,000 and the chance of playing a lucrative tie against a Premiership club.
