# 2021–22 FA Trophy

The 2021–22 FA Trophy (known for sponsorship reasons as the Buildbase FA Trophy) was the 53rd season of the FA Trophy, an annual football competition for teams at levels 5-8 of the English National League System. The competition consisted of three qualifying rounds, and seven proper rounds. Teams from level 8 entered into the first qualifying round and second qualifying round, level 7 into the third qualifying round, level 6 (the National League North and National League South) into round 2, and level 5 (the National League) into round 3.
All matches were in a single-match knockout format, with the winner decided by penalties if the match was drawn after 90 minutes, apart from the Final where the winner was decided by extra-time and penalties if the match was drawn. This was the same format as the 2020–21 season which was a change from previous seasons where replays were used and where the semi-finals were scheduled as two-legged.
