When is the FA Cup second round draw? Time, ball numbers and how to watch

The first round proper of the FA Cup is underway with 40 teams vying for a place in the second round of the competition. The first round saw League One and League Two sides enter the competition with the likes of Leyton Orient and Charlton Athletic aiming for a spot in the third round when Championship and Premier League clubs are introduced.

Charlton face Southend United away from home while Orient are also on the road as they take on Boreham Wood. A number of non-league sides from London have made it to the first round and will be hoping to stay in the competition long enough to land a dream tie with a Premier League side.

Addicks boss Nathan Jones used to play for Southend, spending three years there during his professional career. Ahead of the clash with his former club he said: “I’m looking forward to the game because it is like any other game, the next game but also because it is the FA Cup first round. It’s a wonderful competition, one I have always loved competing in both as a player and as a manager. The added spice of going back to one of your old clubs as well, it will be interesting. I haven’t been back in a while. It’s a time in my career that I really enjoyed.

“I think the competition is really important for both me and the club. First and foremost, it’s a historic and wonderful cup competition, the best in my opinion. It has variety and it holds a lot of unpredictable things.  For the club, it is really important, we would like to have a cup run. We want to get as far as we possibly can. First and foremost, it is about winning the next game in front of us.”

Charlton will hope to be one of 40 teams who enter the second round, with just 20 sides from the first round set to make it to the third round. And with the first round action kicking off on Friday night, we have got all the information you need to keep up with the second round draw.
