Fifty-one academies have entered the U21 Premier League Cup with the draw for Qualifying Round 1 and Qualifying Round 2 due to take place at 11am on Monday 9 September at the offices of the Premier League in Central London.

The one-off fixtures in the competition will be played on a regional basis until the Round of 16, whereupon the draw becomes national. The final will be played over two legs home and away at the main stadia of both teams.
