Ninety eight matches were scheduled for the preliminary round, which were played by Sunday 1 September 2019. The 196 teams taking part consisted of 186 teams with a bye to this stage, plus the ten match winners from the previous round. Sedgley & Gornal United and Boston United both withdrew after having their entry accepted which resulted in walkover wins for Droitwich Spa and Loughborough Students respectively. The match between Whyteleafe and Millwall Lionesses was played, ending in a 6–3 victory for Millwall, but Whyteleafe were later awarded the win because Millwall had fielded two unregistered players.

First round qualifying
Forty-nine matches were scheduled for the first round qualifying, the majority of which were played on Sunday 22 September 2019. Morecambe's tie against FC United of Manchester was postponed on this date, as was the re-arranged fixture a week later, leading to the tie being reversed and Morecambe losing their home advantage. Worthing's tie against Whyteleafe was played on 29 September, having been delayed a week due to Millwall Lionesses (who had been due to play in this match) being expelled from the competition. The round was made up solely of the winners from the previous round and did not include the introduction of any new teams.
