The Football League teams entered the draw thereafter, with League One and League Two teams entered in the first round proper, and Premier League and Championship teams entered in the third round proper.

622 teams were accepted into the FA Youth Cup.[1] Manchester United were the defending champions after defeating Nottingham Forest 3–1 in the 2022 final.[2]

West Ham United won their fourth Youth Cup title, their first since 1999, defeating Arsenal 5–1 in the final at Emirates Stadium.
