The 2025/26 edition of the FA Cup has thrown up some exciting fixtures as we reach the quarter-final stages. Already, there has been plenty of magic this season in England's oldest cup competition, and it looks as though more memorable moments are set to come.
In the third round of the tournament, Crystal Palace were knocked out by non-league Macclesfield in one of the greatest cupsets of all time. There was plenty of drama in the fourth round, too, as a lack of VAR saw numerous mistakes benefit Aston Villa, although Newcastle United eventually turned things around to win 3-1.
Perhaps the biggest story of the fifth round was Sunderland's 1-0 loss to Port Vale, despite the Premier League sitting 57 places above their League One opponents in the English football pyramid.
West Ham and Brentford play tonight, looking to book their spot in the quarter-finals. The winner of that game will take on Leeds United. The eight teams still in the tournament will play their quarter-final clashes on the weekend of Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 April.

Arsenal have avoided a top-flight opponent again. After beating Mansfield Town, they will travel away to Championship club Southampton. The same can be said of Chelsea, who had Wrexham in the last round, but will now face League One side Port Vale.
Finally, it will be an all Premier League affair in London regardless of how things play out tonight, with Leeds United set to be away at either West Ham or Brentford.
