The competition returns after not taking place last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the Iron's last involvement coming in 2019 when a youthful side was knocked out by Boston United in Round One.
Scunthorpe are 20-time winners of the competition, but last picked up the accolade a decade ago in 2011.
Incidentally, the last time United met the Gingerbreads was in the 2001-02 final of the Lincolnshire Senior Cup on August 1, 2002 (held over from the previous season), a day over 19 years prior to the latest fixture against them.
On that day, the Iron won 3-0 thanks to a brace from Paul Wheatcroft and a Martin Carruthers goal.
The full draw for the competition's early rounds are as follows:
Preliminary Round
Cleethorpes Town v Stamford
Lincoln United v Boston United
Quarter Finals
Scunthorpe United v Grantham Town
Spalding United v Grimsby Town
Cleethorpes Town / Stamford v Lincoln United / Boston United
