The FA Cup trophy, glistening with intricate details, rests on a red pedestal, flanked by blue and red ribbons against a blurred stadium backdrop.

The FA Cup fourth-round draw will take place on Sunday, January 12, 2025, as the competition starts to take shape heading into the business end of the tournament. With third-round ties being played across the weekend, clubs and supporters will soon find out their next opponents.

The draw is scheduled for 2pm GMT and will be shown live in the UK on ITV1, with a live stream available via ITVX. It will also be broadcast on BBC Radio 5 Live, giving fans multiple ways to follow the draw as it happens.

All teams that make it through the third round will be included, with the fourth-round ties set to be played between Friday, January 31 and Monday, February 3, 2025.

The FA Cup remains one of the most watched knockout competitions in world football, and the fourth round is often where the schedule ramps up, with Premier League and EFL clubs joined by any remaining lower-league sides still chasing a famous run.

As attention turns from the third round to what comes next, the January 12 draw will confirm the match-ups that could shape the rest of this season’s competition.
