The game on Saturday, November 7 will kick-off at 12.30pm and be broadcast 'live on BBC and BT Sport digital platforms'.
The live broadcast fee for Tonbridge is £32,500.
Cray Valley will also enjoy a cash windfall as their trip to National League South Havant & Waterlooville has been selected for BBC digital platform coverage on Sunday, November 8.
