The 2013–14 FA Cup is the 133rd season of the longest-running association football cup competition. 737 clubs were accepted for the competition, 21 fewer than the previous year's 758.[1] The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down the English football league system means that the competition starts with a number of preliminary and qualifying rounds.
