All 40 FA Cup round one ties, including those involving non-elite teams, will be played as planned from 6-9 November.
Elite sports can continue behind closed doors during the four-week lockdown from Thursday but rules on grassroots and amateur sport are to be finalised.
However, the government has confirmed that the 10 non-elite teams left in the FA Cup can play under elite protocols.

Re: FA Cup
So if any non-elite club get through then they won’t be able to play again until the second round. Doesn’t seem fair...

It seems as though our elite status does have it's advantages & we can at least get some league games in.
