Everything you need to know about the FA Cup quarter-final draw
When is the FA Cup quarter-final draw?: The draw is scheduled to take place on Monday, March 9. This follows the established tradition of holding the draw before the final match of the current round to build anticipation for the next stage.
When does the draw begin?: It will take place before the final fifth-round tie between West Ham United and Brentford, which kicks off at 8pm. You'll want to be watching at 7:05pm for the draw.
UK TV channel: The draw will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 for viewers in the United Kingdom. As the primary rights holder for this round, they will host the live segment as part of their coverage of the Monday night fixture.
How to tune in on the go: Streaming options are available via the discovery+ app and website. Subscribers can watch the draw live on any compatible mobile device, tablet, or smart TV, ensuring they don't miss a moment of the action while on the move.
Free streaming option: A free-to-air live stream is typically provided on the official YouTube channels of both TNT Sports Football and The Emirates FA Cup. This allows fans without a paid subscription to watch the balls being drawn in real-time alongside the televised broadcast.
When the games will take place: The quarter-final matches themselves are scheduled to be played on the weekend of Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5. Last season, two quarter-final fixtures were played on each day, with exact times and dates confirmed in the days after the draw.
How many teams are in it?: There will be eight balls in the hat representing the winners of the fifth-round ties. Because the draw happens before the final match concludes on Monday night, one ball will represent 'West Ham United or Brentford' specifically.
How much will teams earn?: Winners of the quarter-final ties will receive a significant prize fund payment of £477,000. This financial incentive is a major boost for clubs, especially those from lower divisions looking to fund stadium improvements or new signings.
Draw seed rules: The draw is unseeded, meaning any of the remaining eight teams can be drawn against each other. This lack of restriction often leads to high-profile clashes between Premier League giants occurring.
