The South Region Challenge Cup was introduced in 2007 to replace the Scottish Qualifying Cup (South) which was scrapped when the Scottish Cup became an all-in draw.
It is open to Lowland League, West of Scotland, East of Scotland League and South of Scotland League clubs and there is a joint record entry of 163 teams this season.
To manage this number, the clubs have been split into four regions and the first two rounds will be contested on this basis. From the third round (last 64) it will be an all-in draw.
Spartans are the current holders having defeated Drumchapel United in last season’s final, but their promotion to the SPFL means they won’t take part this year.
