The East of Scotland Qualifying Cup is contested by members of the East of Scotland FA who are not members of the Scottish Professional Football League.
In practice, this means some of the Lowland League and almost all of East of Scotland League’s member clubs.
Played in a knockout format, entrants aim to ‘qualify’ to play FC Edinburgh, Kelty Hearts, Bonnyrigg Rose and Spartans in the East of Scotland (aka City) Cup.
Stirling University won last season’s competition.
