Time, channel and ball numbers: All you need to know about FA Cup first-round draw

Cobblers are ball number 31 for tonight's FA Cup first-round proper draw.

Town are hoping to follow up last season's successful cup campaign when they beat Burton Albion and drew with Derby County en route to a fourth-round replay at Pride Park.

There will be no repeat of that this season though as FA Cup replays in every round have been scrapped to 'ease pressure' on a congested schedule.

Cobblers enter the competition this evening when BT Sport and BBC broadcast the first-round draw at 7.10pm.

First-roundties will be played on the weekend of November 6th, 7th, 8th.

Due to the pandemic, this season’s FA Cup prize money has been reduced. Winners of the first round ties will pick up £22,629, compared to £36,000 last season.
