From 2013-2016, teams from theFirst Division,Second Division andThird Division were allowed to enter the competition through qualifying from the preliminary round. However, due to the huge difference in playing level between thePremier League and the lower levels below it, the cup has been limited to top-flight teams since the 2016–17 season.[1] The teams in the lower divisions are now competing in theFA Cup Junior Division.
