When is FA Cup draw? Start time, ball numbers, TV channel and live stream for second round today

It was a memorable weekend of action in the first round as clubs from Leagues One and Two joined the fray, with some notable upsets taking place against non-league opponents.

Seventh-tier Wimborne Town were the headline-grabbers as they toppled EFL basement club Crawley, while Kidderminster knocked out Doncaster and Carlisle defeated high-flying Salford.

Barrow took down Gillingham, while elsewhere Sheffield Wednesday fell to Oldham, Guiseley beat Sutton, Dover overcame Wealdstone and Exeter eliminated Huddersfield.

Charlie Savage also got the better of dad Robbie as Reading thrashed Peterborough in a one-sided battle of League One teams.

The first round proper got under way on Friday night with 2021 winners Leicester seeing off Oxford City. Elsewhere, 2013 winners Wigan took care of business against Boreham Wood.

The dream is over for AFC Rushden & Diamonds after they were beaten by Burton Albion, while eighth-tier Stafford Rangers went two goals up against Grimsby, only to get knocked out on penalties.
