the FA Cup is open to all professional teams in ENGLAND, playing against each other in a single match unless the match ended in a draw where it will be replayed.
teams from the lower leagues will play in the qualifying rounds beginning in August while teams from the English League One & League Two will play in the 1st round. teams from the Premiership & League Championship will only enter the competition in the 3rd round.
there are no seedings for the FA Cup draw, all teams are drawn ramdomly so there is a potential upsets.

all teams in england can enter the premier league and championship clubs enter at 3rd round while all other teams enter 1st and the way it gets choose is that each team has a number and its like the lottery when a ball gets picked but only they pick out two balls the first ball is the home team and the second ball drawn is the away team i hope this has answered your question

All participants have to apply to the FA to be included, even League clubs. One club forgot a few years back and couldn't take part.
