The 2017 FFA Cup preliminary rounds will be the qualifying competition to decide 21 of the 32 teams which will take part in the

A-League clubs and reigning National Premier Leagues champion (Sydney United 58

The preliminary rounds will operate within a consistent national structure whereby club entry into the competition is staggered in each state/territory, with the winning clubs from Round 7 of the preliminary rounds in each member federation gaining entry into the Round of 32. All Australian clubs are eligible to enter the qualifying process through their respective FFA member federation, however only one team per club is permitted entry in the competition.
