The first trophy on offer for the season and the one which secures the champions a route into the 2019 AFC Cup.
Kedah won the 2017 FA Cup, defeating Pahang in the final but they were handed a comparatively tougher draw than 10 other teams in the Super League this season.
While all the other MSL teams were getting either Premier League sides or amateur sides, Kedah and Negeri Sembilan will be the only all Super League clash in Round Two.
Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) will have to go away to Sabah, Perak host Sarawak and Pahang travelling to play ATM are just some of the other notable fixtures.
