All 12 USL League One teams will enter the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in the First Round. The upcoming First Round will mark the first time since 2008 that all matchups will be exclusively contested between pre-professional and professional teams. Overall, this year's edition of the tournament will feature the most First Round matchups between amateur and professional teams in the tournament's 109-year history, more than doubling the previous amount of 16.

Just four of the 12 teams - Madison, South Georgia, Richmond and Chattanooga - will host a First Round match, while the remaining eight clubs will be on the road. Notable matchups include former USL League Two South Central Division rivals Asheville and Knoxville rekindling their Smoky Mountain Series, 2023 USL League Two champions Ballard hosting its first-ever U.S. Open Cup match against first-year side Spokane, and 2022 U.S. Open Cup darlings Union Omaha traveling across the country to face historic USL side Western Mass.
