The first round of the2002–03 UEFA Cup was contested between 17 September and 3 October 2002. A total of 96 teams participated in this round, with the 48 winners advancing to thesecond round.
In the first round, each tie was played overtwo legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, theaway goals rule was applied, i.e., the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then thirty minutes ofextra time were played, divided into two fifteen-minute halves. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e., if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided bypenalty shoot-out.[1]
The first round involved 96 teams: 39 directly qualified for this round (including the threeIntertoto Cup winners), 41 advancing from thequalifying round, and 16 losers from theChampions League third qualifying round.[2][1]

Notes
The draw was held on 30 August 2002 inMonaco.[3] Before the draw, the 96 teams were divided into 48 seeded and 48 unseeded teams, based on their 2002 UEFA club coefficients.[4] For convenience of the draw and to avoid pairing of teams from the same association, the teams were distributed into six groups of sixteen teams, each containing an equal number of seeded and unseeded teams.[2] In the draw, a seeded team from each group was paired with an unseeded team from the same group. The first team to be drawn played the first leg at home.[1]
