The FA Cup first qualifying round tie between Knowle and Worcester City will be shown live on the BBC next month. The match kicks off at 12:30 BST on Saturday, 5 September and will be broadcast across BBC iPlayer, Red Button, BBC Football's YouTube channel and the BBC Sport website.

This will be the 10th year the BBC has broadcast matches from the qualifying stage, with ties from each round available all the way through to the final at Wembley in May.

Knowle, who have earned back-to-back promotions to reach Step Five of the English football league system, are competing in the FA Cup for the first time. Worcester City, who play two divisions higher in Step Three, have a notable FA Cup pedigree, having beaten Coventry City in a shock 2-1 victory 12 years ago and defeated Liverpool, then in the Second Division, in 1959.
