There is an interesting post on another Forum highlighting an 'anomaly' in the FA Cup entry criteria, make of it what you will:

There’s a noticeable anomaly in the stated entry criteria regarding ground grading. While entry to the Trophy and Vase is in synch with criteria for Club's newly-promoted to Steps 4 and 6 respectively, entry to the FA Cup demands Grade 5 from the off.
Assuming that’s intentional, there’ll be a few bitterly disappointed newly-promoted Step 5 Club's who, despite having until next March to get Grade 5 in order to stay at Step 5, look like they won’t be invited into the FA Cup with Grade 6.
Relevant extracts from the rules attached in: https://www.thefa.com/news/2024/feb/29/fa-competitions-applications-2024-25-season-open-20242902:

THE FA CUP

Clubs to be automatically accepted subject to the ground fully conforming to the minimum standard
• Club's in The Premier League, English Football League and in Steps 1–5 of The FA National League System.
• Club's at Steps 1–5 must also be participating in either The FA Trophy or The FA Vase Competitions, in season 2024-25.
• Club's currently at Step 6 of The FA National League System should NOT apply to enter The FA Cup.

Club's promoted from Step 6 to Step 5 for season 2024-25 will be invited to participate in the Competition and automatically accepted once National League System allocations for season 2024-25 have been confirmed.”

So far so good, but then the minimum ground standards are defined as follows:

THE EMIRATES FA CUP

Club's must have a ground where all home first team League matches are played, which fully conforms to a Grade 5 of the FA National Ground Grading (appropriate to Step 5 of The FA National League System) or higher.

THE ISUZU FA TROPHY

Club's must have a ground where all home first team League matches are played, which fully conforms to a Grade 4 of The FA National Ground Grading (appropriate to Step 4 of the FA National League System) or higher. (Save where a Club is in its first year after promotion to Step 4, with a Grade 5 being acceptable in those circumstances)

THE ISUZU FA VASE

Club's must have a ground where all home first team League matches are played, which fully conforms to a Grade 7 of the FA National Ground Grading (appropriate to entry to Step 6 of The FA National League System) or higher.

Any Club with a ground which does not fully conform to the minimum ground standard, as referenced above, WILL NOT be permitted entry into a Competition by nominating an alternative ground solely for the purpose of being used in FA Competitions”.
