Leicester City will face League Two side Torquay United in the first round of the newly-named Capital One Cup.
Martin Ling's side finished fifth in League Two last season, losing to Cheltenham Town in the playoff semi finals. Their home record last season was impressive, losing only three times at Plainmoor. However, the Gulls have gone ten years without reaching the second round of the League Cup.
City fans will face a 450 mile round trip to the "English Riviera" after they were put into the southern section of the draw.
The tie will take place the week commencing 13 August and will be the first game of the 2012/13 season.
