The Emirates FA Cup Final will be at Wembley on Saturday 21 May 2016

Less than five weeks ago Arsenal lifted The FA Cup after victory over Aston Villa, but already clubs are looking to the new season.

The first step along the Road to Wembley has been made as the early round draws are unveiled for four of our major FA competitions.

The Emirates FA Cup will kick-off with the Extra Preliminary Round on the weekend of 15 August with 736 clubs all dreaming of a date under the arch on Saturday 21 May next year.

North Shields won the Vase at Wembley in May

The fixtures for the first two stages of the competition - as well as The FA Trophy, FA Vase and FA Youth Cup - can all be found on the below links.

We also have the round dates and lists of the entries accepted and clubs exempt to later rounds of all four competitions.

While the Youth Cup Final, which was won by Chelsea last season, is played over two legs, the other three competitions will all be played at Wembley.

For the first time ever they will all take place on the same weekend. The day after the Cup Final, the Trophy and Vase will be played in a historic double-header.

And the adventure starts now...
