The draw for the first round was made on 17 June 2014 at 10am. Doncaster Rovers were drawn at away to League Two side York City. For the second round they were drawn away to Championship club Watford. The draw for the third round of the cup was made following the completion of second round fixtures on 27 August 2014.
