Bristol Rovers will be ball number 9 in the 2024-25 Emirates FA Cup’s First Round Proper draw at Bradford City’s University of Bradford Stadium tonight.

Supporters can watch the draw live on BBC Two from 7pm. 48 EFL clubs from Sky Bet League One and League Two enter the competition at this stage, joining the 32 non-league teams remaining from the qualifying rounds.

The Gas reached the third round of the FA Cup last season after beating Whitby Town 7-2 at The Memorial Stadium before a 4-2 win away at Crewe Alexandra to earn a tie against Norwich City.

Rovers forced a replay after a 1-1 draw at Carrow Road, with Grant Ward scoring, but Norwich moved into the next round after a 3-1 triumph in the replay.

The First Round Proper tie will be played between Friday 1 November - Monday 4 November 2024.
