2019–20 FA Trophy
The 2019–20 FA Trophy (known for sponsorship reasons as the Buildbase FA Trophy) is the 51st season of the FA Trophy, an annual football competition for teams at levels 5-8 of the English National League System. The competition consists of two preliminary rounds, three qualifying rounds, and six proper rounds. All matches until the semi-finals are single-match knockout format with reversed replays after first-leg matches drawn in regulation time. The semi-finals are two-legged and the final is a single-match held at Wembley Stadium and decided in extra time or penalties if tied after regulation. First-leg ties throughout the competition can be decided by extra time or penalties if both teams agree and notify the referee at least 45 minutes before kickoff, in accordance with FA Trophy Rule 11(a).[1]
