Chattanooga Red Wolves are one of just three USL League One clubs remaining in the competition. They've won all three of their previous Cup matches in penalty kick shootouts. They took down semi-professional club New Jersey Alliance in the First Round before beating cross-town rival Chattanooga FC in a thrilling local derby in the Second Round.

The Red Wolves were the final team to advance to the Round of 32. With one of the longest trips of the Third Round, they took down USL Championship side Las Vegas Lights in penalty kicks after an incredible 2-2 draw, maintaining just 30% of possession but pulling off a shock upset to advance.
