The 2023–24 FA Trophy (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2023–24 Isuzu FA Trophy) is the 55th edition of the FA Trophy, an annual football competition for teams at the semi-professional levels 5–8 of the English football league system.
Format[edit]
The calendar was announced by The Football Association on 1 July 2023.[1] The competition consists of three qualifying rounds and eight proper rounds.[2] Teams enter at different stages depending on their position in the English pyramid.[2] 8th tier teams enter into the first qualifying round and must win 11 matches to become champions.[2] 7th tier teams enter into the third qualifying round and must win 9 matches to become champions.[3] 6th tier teams enter into the second round proper and must win 7 matches to become champions.[2] 5th tier teams enter into the third round proper and must win 6 matches to become champions.[2]
All rounds are single-match knockout format, with the winner decided by penalties if the match was drawn after 90 minutes, apart from the Final where the winner was decided by extra-time and penalties if the match is drawn.[3] This is the same format as the 2020–21 , 2021–22 season and 2022–23 season which broke from previous seasons that used replays and two-legged semi-finals.The 2019–20 season was scheduled to play two-legged semi-finals but due to their delay by the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom were shifted to a single match.[4] All other previous editions played to the same format of replays and two-legged semi-finals.
