First round[]

The draw for the First Round took place on 24 June 2021.[1] The game between Port Talbot Town and Swansea University was postponed on 16 July after two Port Talbot players tested positive for COVID-19 and the Port Talbot squad was told to self-isolate by Welsh health authorities.[2] Port Talbot Town subsequently forfeited the match in line with the approach adopted by the Football Association of Wales for the 2021–22 season's cup matches in relation to teams unable to play cup games due to Coronavirus infections.
