2016–17 FA Cup qualifying rounds

The 2016–17 FA Cup qualifying rounds open the 136th season of competition in England for The Football Association Challenge Cup, the world's oldest association football single knockout competition. For the third successive year, 736 entrants were accepted into the competition.
The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down in the English football pyramid mean that the competition is scheduled to start with six rounds of preliminary and qualifying knockouts for these non-League teams. The 32 winning teams from the fourth qualifying round progress to the First round proper, when League teams tiered at Levels 3 and 4 enter the competition.
