The 1992–93 FA Cup qualifying rounds opened the 112th 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 561 clubs were accepted for the competition, up three from the previous season's 558.
The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down (Levels 5 through 8) in the English football pyramid meant that the competition started with five rounds of preliminary (1) and qualifying (4) knockouts for these non-League teams.
The 28 winning teams from fourth round qualifying progressed to the First round proper, where League teams tiered at Levels 3 and 4 entered the competition.
The teams that given byes to this round are Kettering Town, Merthyr Tydfil, Farnborough Town, Telford United, Welling United, Yeovil Town, Runcorn, Kidderminster Harriers, Bromsgrove Rovers, Barrow, Sutton United, Aylesbury United, Halesowen Town, Hayes, Whitley Bay, Atherstone United, Crawley Town, Enfield, Marlow and Tiverton Town.
