This is the fourth FA Cup tie between Shrewsbury Town and Colchester United; the Shrews progressed in the 1971-72 first round, with the Essex side winning in 1988-89 (third round) and 2005-06 (second round).
This is the first meeting between Shrewsbury and Colchester since the 2015-16 League One campaign. Shrewsbury won 4-2 at home before a goalless draw away that season.
Shrewsbury have reached the second round of the FA Cup in each of the last nine seasons, last failing to do so in 2013-14 when they lost at Walsall in round one.
Colchester United have lost six of their last seven FA Cup first round ties, with the exception being a 4-0 win at AFC Sudbury in 2021-22.
