The 2013–14 FA Cup qualifying rounds opened the 133rd season of competition in England for 'The Football Association Challenge Cup' (FA Cup), the world's oldest association football single knockout competition. A total of 737 clubs were accepted for the competition, down 21 from the previous season's 758.
The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down (Levels 5 through 10) in the English football pyramid meant that the competition started with six rounds of preliminary (2) and qualifying (4) knockouts for these non-League teams. The 32 winning clubs from fourth qualifying round progressed to the First round proper, where League teams tiered at Levels 3 and 4 entered the competition.
For the first time ever in the history of the FA Cup, a club from Guernsey entered the competition, Guernsey F.C. This Level 8 club, from the Isthmian League, entered the competition in the preliminary round.
