Everything you need to know about the FA Cup quarter-final draw

The FA Cup quarter-final draw will take place on Monday evening, live from the London Stadium. The draw is scheduled just before the final fifth-round fixture between West Ham and Brentford kicks off.

Fans can watch the draw live on UK television via TNT Sports 1, with coverage starting at approximately 7.05pm UK time. The broadcast will be led by presenters Darren Fletcher and Ally McCoist as part of the pre-match build-up in east London.

For viewers who prefer to stream the event, the draw will be broadcast live on the discovery+ platform and the official TNT Sports YouTube channel. These digital options ensure supporters can follow the results on their smartphones, tablets or computers.

TNT Sports is available to subscribers through several major television providers, including Sky, EE TV, and Virgin Media. Depending on your specific package, you can access the draw through the standard sports channels or the dedicated discovery+ app.

Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart will be the special guest responsible for picking the teams out of the hat during the ceremony. He will join the TNT Sports team to determine the matchups for the final eight teams remaining in the competition.

Ball No. 1 is assigned to Southampton following their upset win over Fulham, while ball No. 2 represents Port Vale, who defeated Sunderland 1-0 on Sunday. Ball No. 3 is reserved for Manchester City and Leeds United took ball No. 4 after overcoming Norwich City.

Arsenal have been assigned ball No. 5, while Liverpool took ball No. 6 and Chelsea hold ball No. 7. The eighth and final ball will belong to whichever team triumphs in the match between West Ham and Brentford.

It is important to note that matches in this round will be played over the weekend of April 4 and 5 without the possibility of replays. If any game ends in a draw after 90 minutes, it will be decided by extra-time and a penalty shootout if required.
