As a Premier League side, Leeds United enters the Emirates FA Cup in the Third Round among 64 teams in the draw. Leeds won the competition in 1972 in a dominant run that debuted “Marching on Together.” The Whites have reached the final on three other occasions: in 1965, ‘70, and ‘73.

The current trophy holders are Crystal Palace, who defeated Manchester City 1-0 to claim their first-ever major trophy at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

The draw will take place at approximately 6:40 pm, with the Whites as ball number 19.
