Wales
The 1932–33 FA Cup was the 58th season of the world's oldest football cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup. Everton won the competition for the second time, beating Manchester City 3–0 in the final at Wembley.
Matches were scheduled to be played at the stadium of the team named first on the date specified for each round, which was always a Saturday. Some matches, however, might be rescheduled for other days if there were clashes with games for other competitions or the weather was inclement. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played, a replay would take place at the stadium of the second-named team later the same week. If the replayed match was drawn further replays would be held until a winner was determined. If scores were level after 90 minutes had been played in a replay, a 30-minute period of extra time would be played.

Qualifying rounds
Most teams that were not members of the Football League competed in the qualifying rounds to secure one of 25 places available in the first round. This season, Football League Third Division South club Brighton & Hove Albion also competed in the qualifying rounds after submitting incorrect paperwork with their entry and not being exempted to the first round proper.
The 25 winners from the fourth qualifying round were Spennymoor United, Crook Town, Scarborough, Workington, Stalybridge Celtic, Darwen, Nelson, Boston Town, Gainsborough Trinity, Denaby United, Scunthorpe & Lindsey United, Hereford United, Ilford, Romford, Wycombe Wanderers, Margate, Folkestone, Dartford, Kingstonian, Lloyds (Sittingbourne), Guildford City, Ryde Sports, Merthyr Town and Yeovil & Petter's United along with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Those appearing in the competition proper for the first time were Hereford United, Wycombe Wanderers, Lloyds (Sittingbourne) and Ryde Sports. Stalybridge Celtic reached this stage for the first time since withdrawing from the Football League in 1923, while Romford had last featured in the first round in 1885-86.
For the first time, three clubs progressed to the main draw from the extra preliminary round. Spennymoor United defeated Dawdon Colliery Recreation, Murton Colliery Welfare, Seaham Colliery Welfare, Wardley Welfare, Horden Colliery Welfare and Bridlington Town; Lloyds (Sittingbourne) defeated Royal Marines Chatham, Canterbury Waverley, Callender Athletic, Beckenham, Sheppey United and Wimbledon; and Merthyr Town defeated Ebbw Vale, Barry, Hanham Athletic, Llanelli, St Philip's Marsh Adult School and Street. All three clubs lost in the first round proper.
However, the talk of the tournament was Brighton & Hove Albion's unprecedented run to the fifth round proper. Entering in the first qualifying round, Brighton defeated Shoreham, Worthing, Hastings & St Leonards and Barnet to reach the main draw before knocking out Crystal Palace, Wrexham, Chelsea and Bradford Park Avenue. They went out to West Ham United in a fifth round replay at Upton Park but by then they had become the first (and only) Football League club ever to feature in nine rounds of an individual Cup competition. Barring an exceptional decision or allowance by the FA, this feat is no longer attainable by clubs in the Football or Premier Leagues.
First round proper
At this stage 41 clubs from the Football League Third Division North and South joined the 25 clubs that came through the qualifying rounds. Barnsley and Watford were given byes to the third round. To make the number of matches up, non-league sides Dulwich Hamlet and Marine were given byes to this round as the winner and finalist from the previous season's FA Amateur Cup.
34 matches were scheduled to be played on Saturday, 26 November 1932. Eight were drawn and went to replays in the following midweek fixture, of which one went to a second replay.
