The draw for the FA Cup fourth round reveals the next 16 ties in the world’s oldest cup competition.
With just four wins to reach the final, the competition cranks up another notch as it enters the fourth round. Although, the thrills and spills of the feted third round won’t quite be concluded by the time the famous numbered balls are drawn on Sunday afternoon.
Here’s how you can watch the fate of the involved clubs get revealed this weekend.
The draw for the FA Cup 2022/23 third round will take place on Sunday 8 January. Mark Chapman will be joined by Emile Heskey and Karen Bardsley to decide the fourth-round ties at the Etihad Stadium, shortly before Manchester City host Chelsea in the third round.
The fourth-round draw for the FA Cup 2022/23 will be available to watch on
BBC One as part of the coverage for City’s clash with Chelsea. The Football Association gave the vague start time of “around 4.05pm GMT”. It will also be streamed live on the competition’s official FA Cup Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts.

As has been the case since 2007, the FA Cup final will be held at Wembley Stadium.
Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium played host to the showpiece event for six years between 2001 and 2006 while the new Wembley’s construction dragged on longer than initially predicted. Liverpool bookended this period with wins in the final and are the current holders after defeating Chelsea on penalties in 2022 in London.
When is the FA Cup 2022/23 final?
The 2023 FA Cup final will be held on Saturday 3 June with the winner of the two successful semi-finalists claiming £2m in prize money and a spot in the 2023/24 Europa League group stage.
