Defending champions Poole begin their title defence in the Preliminary Round, where they face Scunthorpe in a repeat of the dramatic 2023 Final – a contest the Scorpions won in memorable fashion.

The winners of that tie will progress to a quarter-final clash with Oxford, while last season’s beaten finalists Redcar enter the competition at the last-eight stage against Edinburgh.

Elsewhere in the quarter-finals, Berwick host Workington, with Bandits skipper Jye Etheridge and Comets new recruit Jonas Jeppesen both facing their former clubs. Plymouth and Glasgow complete the line-up in a long-distance quarter-final encounter.

All ties will be contested over two legs.
