The 2007–08 season was Hereford United's 27th season in the Football League and ended in the club winning promotion to League One, the third tier of English football, for the first time in 30 years. It was Hereford's second season back in the Football League after nine seasons spent in the Conference. The previous season had seen Hereford finish 16th after a poor run of form in the final stages of the season. On the strength of this they were predicted to battle against relegation this season by most media sources. Only one member of the 2007-08 squad was purchased for a transfer fee, Ben Smith who was signed from Weymouth for £20,000 in January 2007. On 26 April 2008 they secured 3rd place and promotion to League One.

The draw for the first round was made on 31 October 2007, with Hereford being drawn at home to League One club Leeds United, playing at that level for the first time in their history. The match was moved to Friday night in order to be broadcast on terrestrial television, with Hereford earning a replay after a 0–0 draw. In the replay, a third minute goal from Lionel Ainsworth was enough to send Hereford through 1–0 and knock Leeds out. In the second round, Hereford were again drawn at home against a League One club, Hartlepool United. No replay was needed this time to defeat their higher graded opponents with Hereford winning 2–0. A third consecutive League One club was drawn in the third round, and a third consecutive scalp obtained by Hereford as they knocked Tranmere Rovers out, beating them 1–0 in a replay after a 2–2 draw at Prenton Park. In the fourth round, Hereford were drawn at home against Championship club, and eventual runners-up, Cardiff City. Hereford's cup run came to an end as they were beaten 2–1.
