National League North's Chorley will face neighbours and 2013 winners Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup first round.

Skelmersdale United of tier nine, the lowest-ranked side left, have an away tie at League Two Harrogate Town, while Tonbridge Angels host Bradford City.

Eighth-tier Marine will travel to Colchester United, Eastbourne Borough will take on Blackpool and FC United of Manchester will host Doncaster Rovers.

First-round ties will be played across the weekend of 7-8 November.

This is the stage at which League One and League Two clubs join the competition - no crowds will be permitted for any of the fixtures as part of the coronavirus restrictions.

Monday's draw also handed first-round debutants King's Lynn a trip to English Football League opposition in Port Vale, while Hayes & Yeading United will welcome Carlisle United.

After eighth-tier side Cray Valley stunned National League club Maidenhead in the fourth qualifying round on Saturday to reach the first round for the first time, they were rewarded with an away tie against Havant & Waterlooville.

In being drawn to face Wigan, Chorley - who received a bye into the first round - will take on one of the nine former winners of the cup in action over the first full weekend of November.

The others are Ipswich, Wimbledon, Bradford, Charlton, Blackpool, Sunderland, Portsmouth and Bolton.
