2002–03 UEFA Cup first round#Skoda Xanthi v Lazio

In the first round, each tie was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e., the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then thirty minutes of extra time were played, divided into two fifteen-minute halves. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e., if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the tie was decided by penalty shoot-out.{{cite web|title=Regulations of the UEFA Cup 2002/03|url=http://kassiesa.net/uefafiles/2002-uefa-uc-rules.pdf|publisher=Union of European Football Associations|access-date=20 August 2014|format=PDF}}

The first round involved 96 teams: 39 directly qualified for this round (including the three Intertoto Cup winners), 41 advancing from the qualifying round, and 16 losers from the Champions League third qualifying round.{{cite web |url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UEFACup/news/Kind=1/newsId=31674.html |title=Hopefuls await UEFA Cup fate |publisher=UEFA |date=30 August 2002 |access-date=27 January 2025 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020903225350/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/UEFACup/news/Kind=1/newsId=31674.html |archive-date=3 September 2002}}

In the draw, a seeded team from each group was paired with an unseeded team from the same group. The first team to be drawn played the first leg at home.
