FA Cup

First round 41 of 44 clubs from the Football League First and Second Divisions joined the 12 lower-league clubs who came through the qualifying rounds. To bring the number of teams up to 64, nine Third Division South sides and one Third Division North side were given byes to this round.

The Football Association also began the custom of awarding leading London amateur club Corinthian a bye to the same stage of the tournament as the Football League First Division sides. Corinthian would receive these byes for a further ten seasons, but the club's members had to ratify a special constitutional amendment for it to do so as its founding document initially prevented it from competing for "any challenge cup or any prize of any description"!

32 matches were scheduled to be played on Saturday, 13 January 1923. Twelve matches were drawn and went to replays in the following midweek fixture, of which three went to another replay, and one match went to a third.
