The draw for the Third Round Proper was held on 2 December 2019. The 20 Second Round winners joined the 20 Premier League and 24 EFL Championship clubs in 32 ties to be played across the weekend of 4–6 January 2020.[7] This round included two teams from level 5, AFC Fylde and Hartlepool United, who were the lowest-ranked teams still in the competition.
All thirty-two matches will kick off one minute late to encourage fans to take one minute to think about their mental health, and to broadcast a film narrated by FA president Prince William about mental health.[8]
