FA Cup quarter-final draw, dates and TV channel

The FA Cup quarter-final line-up is complete after Monday evening’s draw set up four compelling ties to be played on the weekend of 4 April.

Premier League heavyweights Manchester City and Liverpool will collide at the Etihad Stadium in the standout fixture. City, beaten finalists in each of the last two seasons, are chasing a first triumph since their 2023 success, while Liverpool’s most recent FA Cup glory came in 2022.

National League side Port Vale, the competition’s lowest-ranked survivors, will continue their dream run with a visit to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea. The Vale have never appeared in the top flight but have already accounted for Championship high-fliers Sunderland and now target a first semi-final berth in 72 years.

Southampton booked a home date with Arsenal after edging Fulham at Craven Cottage courtesy of a late penalty. The Gunners remain alive on four fronts and are seeking their first major trophy since lifting this competition in 2020.

West Ham and Leeds will meet at the London Stadium after respective fifth-round victories. The Hammars advanced via a penalty-shoot-out win over Brentford, while Leeds brushed aside Norwich City to reach the last eight for the first time since 2003.

All matches will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on BBC and TNT Sports; international viewers should consult local listings.
